Merridrew Rides Again

No-one who read Valley of the Doomed is likely to forget Jenkinson Talbot Merridrew, the gun-toting butler of Double Peak. Now Merridrew is back again, bowler hat in place, and ready as ever to give the Young Master and the Young Mistress the benefit of his advice and assistance in the outbreak of lawlessness that returns once more to Double Peak. Western gunmen may be tough, hard-riding hombres, but they soon find out that they have nothing on Merridrew, who is always eighteen stone of gentlemanly correctness—until somebody treads too heavily on his toes.

For those who sometimes like to glimpse the lighter side of the Wild West for a change, and would like to see those hard-bitten, lean-featured citizens put to rout by the paragon of Portland Place, Merridrew Rides Again is the book!
