Alias Whispering White and Other Tales from the Pulps

Description

Ike Harper and Magpie Simpkins—two good-natured, rough-and-tumble miners—are perfectly content digging for gold and minding their own business. But when their friend Franklyn Burt receives a heartbreaking letter, they decide to throw in their lot and head East to save his sweetheart, Marion White, from marrying a worthless duke.

Posing as Marion’s long-lost millionaire uncle “Whispering White,” Magpie and Ike stumble into high society with all the grace of a mule in a drawing room. Through mistaken identities, crooked card games, and a reception that will never be forgotten, they turn the town of Redfield upside down. But the duke has secrets of his own—and when the truth finally comes out, it’s going to take more than a six-shooter and a quick wit to set things right.

Saddle up for a rip-roaring tale of Western humor and high-stakes deception! Also included: “Local Color in Loco-Land,” “For the Parson of Paradise,” “Inside Information,” and “A Little Help for Hawkins.”
