Texas Spurs was originally published in 1955 and is a typical Western paperback original of its period being undistinguished but perfectly readable ,if this type of book is your thing.Its hero is Mark Regan ,part owner of a cattle herd newly arrived in Colorado from Texas.His partner is ambushed and killed by a man employed by a local businessman ,and crook ,Ed Varden ,a man whose methods of expanding his ranching empire pay but scant regard to the law .Varden has the local lawman,Moody ,in his back pocket and he also indulges in blackmail in order to get his way.A nasty piece of work in short.
Regan sets out to bring him down in a sturdy if stereotypical plot with one interesting twist -it is a minor character rather than the hero who plays a decisive role in the climax .The prose is functional ,the characterisataion lacks depth but the plot is just about lively enough to sustain interest ,if you are a genre devotee .
