Sheriff Henry Harrison Conroy-once a red¿nosed vaudeville headliner, now the unlikeliest lawman in Arizona-prefers a joke to a jawbone, a jug of Frijole Bill's "prune whiskey" to parade speeches, and a crooked smile to a court docket. But when Tonto City's streets fill with burned bodies, counterfeit bills, staged kidnappings, and a political campaign that smells of corruption, Henry's theater instincts become the valley's greatest advantage. In three lean, propulsive adventures collected here, Henry matches wits with blackmailers, counterfeiters, and crooked gamblers; protects wayward teachers and honkatonk beauties; and drags a quarreling town toward justice-all while Judge Van Treece, Oscar Johnson, Frijole Bill, Slim Pickins, and the rest of his ragged crew bungle, bluster, and somehow get the job done beside him. Equal parts western grit, comic cunning, and old¿school detective work, Blind Trails at Tonto proves that heroism can wear spats, laugh at danger, and still shoot straighter than its reputation. Includes the complete tales "Henry the Silent," "Tracks in the Sand," and the title story "Blind Trails at Tonto."
