Synopsis: FIRST TIME IN PAPERBACK! DEADLY HOMECOMING Kenny Blacklaws returned to the East Texas town of Copper Bluffs nine years after the brutal murder of his stepfather, only to find himself smack dab in the middle of a war with cutthroat rustlers. But that wasn't his only problem. His return also awakened the feelings of Corsica, the beautiful woman his stepbrother had claimed as his own. It's not long at all before just about everyone in Copper Bluffs is itching to see Kenny dead-just like his stepfather. EDITOR'S NOTE An earlier edition of this Western novel concerned with the hide trade in the Texas Gulf region appeared in a condensed magazine version in Zane Grey's Western Magazine under the title, "The Hide Rustlers." Certain scenes, vital to the author's intentions and a reader's understanding of the actions of the characters, were excised from this condensed version. Subsequently, a book version was published under the same title, but it retained the same editorial omissions. For this new edition, those scenes have been restored, based on the author's original typescript, so that now Copper Bluffs appears for the first time with the title and in the form the author originally intended.
