W.C. Tuttle was one of the great pulp Western storytellers, known for mixing frontier action, mystery, dry humor, and colorful cowboy speech.
In "Sticky Ropes " newly elected sheriff Dusty Corbett faces a secret gang whose strange calling card spreads fear across Big Bear County. "The Loom of Lies" brings more tangled motives, sharp talk, and trouble on the range. In "Peace Medicine " Tuttle adds another lively Western tale of danger, bluff, and hard choices.
First published in Adventure in 1923 and 1924, these three novellas show Tuttle at home in the fast-moving world of the pulp magazines.
