When Willa Ree emerges from the boxcar, he is broke and ready for a fresh start. And Breton looks to be a town full of fresh suckers. Ben Halliday is not one of those suckers, or so he thinks. One of the town leaders, he needs a new cop with adjustable morals. Ree is the perfect fit. Unfortunately, Ree is even less subtle than Halliday had hoped. Because Ree has plans of his own. Now that he’s a cop, he intends to steal every dollar he can lay his hands on, and seduce any woman he wants. This Texas oil town is ripe for the picking on all accounts. It’s Willa Ree’s town now, and nothing that Halliday—or anyone—can do will stop him.

Born in 1919 to bitter poverty on a West Texas farm, Jada Davis was a hired laborer in cotton fields as a child. He was a voracious reader when he could escape his farm chores, and found that he could make extra money as a teenager by writing short pieces for magazines. After serving in the last true cavalry division of the U.S. Army in the 1930s, he was forced by tuberculosis to sit out the Second World War. Davis earned a degree at the University of Texas at Austin, and then went on to edit several West Texas newspapers. Around that time, he authored One for Hell. Davis later joined the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company, where he rose up the ranks to become a senior PR executive. He died in 1996.
