Description:

"IF HE COMES, SHOOT!"

That was the grim order tenderfoot Shelton Sherman was given shortly after he took a job with the Sunbeam Ranch. But did shooting make sense? Could bullets down a ghost? While riding in the hills, Sherman had come upon tracks that were neither animal nor human. Then a flock of sheep was killed by having their necks twisted. Days later a sheepman's neck was broken in the same way. Terror spread over the entire range. Some ranchers branded Alec Burney, owner of the Sunbeam and a hater of sheepmen, as the murderer. But that did not explain the weird cries that echoed from the hills or the ugly shape that drifted through the night. Sherman rode to find an explanation. It was a ride that brought him to a monster and close to death! [Suggest a different description.]

Author Bio for Sinclair (Sinclair-Cowan), Bertha Muzzy

Author Image

Bertha Muzzy Sinclair or Sinclair-Cowan, née Muzzy (November 15, 1871 – July 23, 1940), best known by her pseudonym B. M. Bower, was an American author who wrote novels, fictional short stories, and screenplays about the American Old West. Her works, featuring cowboys and cows of the Flying U Ranch in Montana, reflected “an interest in ranch life, the use of working cowboys as main characters (even in romantic plots), the occasional appearance of eastern types for the sake of contrast, a sense of western geography as simultaneously harsh and grand, and a good deal of factual attention to such matters as cattle branding and bronc busting.”

Bower's 1912 novel Lonesome Land was praised in The Bookman magazine for its characterization. She wrote 57 Western novels, several of which were turned into films.--Wikipedia.
