OTR Mysteries - Tales of the Texas Rangers

Tales of the Texas Rangers --  Trigger Men

Joe and Tiny Gordon are brothers and ruthless murderers. They are running from the police and on their way to Mexico when they stop for gas in Ada, Oklahoma. There they steal the gas, rob the station and beat the gas station owner to death with a tire iron.

The Texas Rangers, believing the pair will be driving through Texas, join in the chase. Assigned as lead investigator is Ranger Jace Pearson.

Good detective work leads the law men to the mountains of Big Bend National Park on the Texas-Mexico border --- and to an inevitable confrontation.
