Owen Clancy's Happy Trail

Owen Clancy, the "Motor Wizard," bursts into action in a California adventure where automobiles, mistaken identities, and danger collide. When Hiram Hill mistakes a stranger for his missing father during a wild Los Angeles dragon parade, the resulting riot leaves him battered, determined, and clutching a clue that sends him urgently to Clancy for help. At the same time, Clancy is recovering from injury and betrayal: his partner Lafe Wynn has forged his name, stolen firm money, and left him burdened by loyalty to Lafe's mother. A telegram from Hiram offers Clancy a welcome escape and a chance to trade grief for a "Happy Trail." What begins as a comic search soon becomes a tense pursuit through Los Angeles, Avalon, and Sugarloaf Rock, where Clancy and Hiram track the missing father, the stolen fifteen thousand dollars, and the crooked Fortunatus Syndicate. Shifting loyalties, forged letters, a suspected smuggler, and a slippery accomplice named Hank Burton deepen the mystery until the gang's betrayal turns violent at Captain Hogan's bungalow, where Bob Katz is found bound and nearly suffocated. This lively Western-mystery blends humor, suspense, and motor-driven adventure. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
