Yeah, That's a great cover. I just ordered two Chap O' Keefe novels and pre-ordered THE TARNISHED STAR. Beat to a Pulp will have a Keefe short story this Saturday titled "The Unreal Jesse James."
The online serialization is another of Gary's spur-of-the-moment masterstrokes. We were discussing the greater likelihood of short-run reprints with new technology, and I mentioned this early O'Keefe which Hale for obvious reasons didn't want to take the risk of reprinting, even though it had sold out very quickly. Twelve hours later and we had a blog serial set up! Is it a first? The yarn should appeal to those who enjoy the likes of the old Gold Medals. Originally, I even supplied Hale with a cover tagline, which he didn't use on a library hardcover, of course. It said: "Gunplay and seduction ... a lawman's acid test!"
