Halliday 10: Drifter's Brand

By Adam Brady

It wasn’t Halliday’s fight. But when he found an innocent man hanging from a tree for a crime he didn’t commit, he felt obligated to bring his own brand of justice to the guilty.
Chief among them was Cord Dorgan, who was scaring off nesters and grabbing up their land every which-way he could. All he cared about was creating and ruling the biggest ranch in the territory. And the folks in and around Crater Creek – including the county sheriff – was just letting him get away with it.
Halliday wasn’t built that way. When he saw a pretty young woman in danger, when he saw a kid shot to ribbons for trying to stand up and be a man, he had to buy into it.
After that, it was war. All-out war.

Adam Brady

Adam Brady was one of many pseudonyms used by prolific Australian writer Desmond Robert Dunn (6 November 1929-5 May 2003). In addition to four crime novels published under his own name, Des was a tireless western writer whose career spanned more than fifty years and well in excess of 400 oaters. These quick-moving, vivid and always compelling stories appeared under such pen-names as Shad Denver, Gunn Halliday, Brett Iverson, Matt Cregan, Walt Renwick and Morgan Culp. He is also said to have written a number of the ever-popular Larry Kent P.I. novels, but at this late date author attribution is almost impossible. He married and divorced twice, and had three children. He died at the age of 73 in Brisbane, Queensland.
