Halliday 16: Put a Price on It!

By Adam Brady

They thought they had it all worked out. They were wrong.
The minute they set the kidnap in motion, nothing went according to plan. The men who were hired to steal the beautiful Norrie Findlay away from her husband’s vast ranch decided to go into business for themselves, figuring to take the ransom money and the woman herself, whom they both lusted after.
But Norrie herself had other ideas. And when, in desperation, she managed to escape their clutches, she ended up running into Buck Halliday.
Halliday agreed to help her cross the desert to get back to her husband, but there was something about the woman he just couldn’t entirely trust. And when they finally made it to the town of Calder, all hell broke loose.
The kidnappers were determined to recapture their prey, and were willing to kill anyone who stood in their way. They did, too. But as the bodies started piling up, they realized one important fact.
Buck Halliday was a hard man to kill!

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.
