Old cowboys never die

William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. But old cowboys? That's a different story -- especially when those cowboys are trail-hardened cattlemen like Casey Tubbs and Eli Doolin. When these longtime buddies learn that their bosses are getting out of the beef business, they figure it's probably time to retire anyway. Nothing left to do now but deliver the last two thousand cows to Abilene and collect their pay. There's just one problem. There's no money. The company's lawyer is skipping town with all the workers' cash -- which means Casey and Eli have one last job to do . . . Steal it back. Sure, pulling off a robbery is a new challenge for these old boys. But they've learned a lot of tricks over the years -- and they're one hell of a team. Casey is strictly no-nonsense, a let's-get-it-done kind of guy. Eli is more devil-may-care, a let's-have-some-fun troublemaker. Between the two of them, they devise a scheme to hold up the lawyer on the noon train and deliver the money to the men who earned it. There's just one catch: once they pull off the perfect crime -- and get away with it -- Casey and Eli start thinking they may have missed their calling in life. this could be the start of a whole new career . . . as outlaws. So begins the wild, wild story of Casey and Eli, two old cowboys who are one step ahead of the law -- and the young deputy marshal who's determined to catch them . .
