Synopsis
Pothooks Marrs was the name by which he was known. He was the day cook at the Cowman's Rest, a small cafe in Dallas. He is actually hiding out. He was once a top-hand cowboy and expert roper. He is also a maverick, suspected of mavericking after the law prohibiting it on the range was passed. Above all he was believed to have shot his best friend in the back and was wanted for murder. He had been tried and convicted and sent to prison from where he escaped. He was young at the time and time has changed his looks, but time can not hide the rope burns on his hands. Out the window he spots Kettle Cory, a man originally on pursuit of him. As he wonders about this, he is offered the job of cook on a cattle drive. At first he declines - all he wants to do is get away from Kettle Cory, but then he changes his mind and takes the job.

Reviews
Pothooks Marrs is a man with a secret past, a former cowboy, maverick, and murder suspect who would really prefer if people didn’t find out who he used to be. When Marrs chances upon a detective for the Cattleman’s Association, a man who was hot on his heels in the old days, he panics: Is his past about to be opened up again? Desperate to escape, he signs on as camp cook for a cattle drive, only to discover that the detective himself is part of the crew. Savage, who started writing westerns more than half a century ago, writes good, old-fashioned oaters, the kind where you can almost feel the dust and smell the horses. His books read like movie serials translated to the page, with a black-hat, white-hat approach to villains and heroes. Fans of old-school westerns in the Zane Grey tradition will be well pleased. --David Pitt
