The Mayama Valley is split between two rival outfits, and the Bar Y boys have just produced a secret weapon: a professional boxer spending the winter on their ranch. His short-arm jabs make quick work of the Circle C’s champion and turn every Bar Y puncher into a dangerous fighter. The Circle C’s answer is to hire a movie-studio strongman named Pug Parry, a six-foot-six giant who twists iron bars into hoops with his bare hands.
Pug scares the Bar Y into submission—and then makes himself right at home. Now the smallest man on the Circle C, Big Hat Phil Dunton, has to watch Pug set his sights on the girl Phil loves. How does a little man stand up to a human mountain?
Erle Stanley Gardner
Erle Stanley Gardner (1889–1970) was a prolific American author best known for his works centered on the lawyer-detective Perry Mason. At the time of his death in March of 1970, in Ventura, California, Gardner was “the most widely read of all American writers” and “the most widely translated author in the world,” according to social historian Russell Nye. The first Perry Mason novel, The Case of The Velvet Claws, published in 1933, had sold twenty-eight million copies in its first fifteen years. In the mid-1950s, the Perry Mason novels were selling at the rate of twenty thousand copies a day. There have been six motion pictures based on his work and the hugely popular Perry Mason television series starring Raymond Burr, which aired for nine years and 271 episodes.
