The Slash and Pecos westerns, 5

It sounds like an easy job: track down the lady friend of notorious outlaw Duke Winter and bring her in for questioning. There's just one problem: Slash and Pecos have never met a woman like Miss Fannie Diamond. She's a glamorous showgirl, cuter than a bug's ear, slicker than a snake oil salesman, and more slippery than a Mojave rattlesnake. She knows that Slash and Pecos are coming for her and has no intention of being caught - not without one of hell of a fight . . . By the time the old-timers arrive at the Rocky Mountain mining camp where Miss Diamond is performing, she has already arranged a welcome wagon for them: hired thugs who beat Slash and Pecos senseless. Still, the show must go on - so the pair decide to snatch Miss Diamond off the stage in the middle of a performance. It doesn't take long for Slash and Pecos to realize they've caught the tiger by the tail. This wanted woman has a bevy of admirers - including a pair of federal lawmen who fall into her trap, a train-robbing gambler who used to be her beau, and a vicious outlaw gang courtesy of Duke Winter himself, who'd kill and kill again for the girl . . . Slash and Pecos are about to learn that sometimes, the female of the species is deadlier than the male . .
