Böcker i The Medico of the West-serien

A western classic, back in print for the first time in 85 years! Dr. Cliff Monroe treats Shan Jungward, a nestor's ill daughter, inadvertently sparking a bloody range war between the homesteaders and the allied forces of cowmen and sheepherders. The conflict leads to homes being torched, cattle being slaughtered, and the potential massacre of entire families. To stop the destruction and bloodshed, and bring peace back to Painted Springs, Monroe has to strap on his guns and become the law once again... This book, published in 1938, was the third novel in Rubel's Medico of the West series. It was filmed in 1941 as the movie Prairie Stranger, starring Charles Starrett. The fourth book in the series, The Doctor of the West, was published in the UK under the pseudonym "Mason Macrae."

Cliff Monroe came to Painted Springs to be the County Health Officer. He had hardly stepped off the stagecoach when a fusillate of shots rang out...and he had his first patient. It was just the latest violence in a fierce feud between cattlemen and sheepmen that was raging in the territory. The Sheriff refused to step in the violent fray, claiming "neutrality," and Cliff tried to follow his example, but he fell in love with Nancy Starweather, daughter of the sheepmen's leader, which made that a hard line to walk. The only answer was to use his wits, his guns, and his tenacity to end the feud himself.The book was author James Rubels' first published novel, released in 1934, and was followed by two sequels (The Medico Rides and The Medico on the Trail) under his own name and one (The Doctor of the West), strangely, under the pseudonym "Mason Macrae" released in the UK. The Medico of the Painted Springs, along with the first two sequels, were filmed in 1941 and starred Charles Starrett.
