First published in 1953, 'Lightning Swift' is a traditional Western novel written at the peak of popularity for the genre, and features many of the most common themes including a corrupt businessman taking control of a small town and attempting a land grab with the help of various henchmen and a corrupt town sheriff, whilst an incorruptible outsider steps in to sort things out. All quite common themes, but well realised in the hands of an experienced writer.
