"Hashknife Hartley, cow-puncher and amateur detective, had faced some tough propositions in his day, but none had been quite so ticklish as the gold robberies at the Comanche Chief mine at Painted Wells, Arizona. To read how Hashknife and Sleepy solved the mystery is to read one of Tuttle's liveliest stories. W. C. Tuttle, true Westerner from the Montana ranges, had been steeped in the lore of cowpunching from earliest youth. In Hashknife and Sleepy he created the Western counterparts of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, and in all of his novels he caught the wild and racy tang of the country he knew and loved"-- Provided by publisher.
