About the book
In this thrilling Western tale, an ex-Texas Ranger who has retired from his law enforcement duties and taken up fishing finds himself back in action to restore order - with guns blazing...
Charlie “Catfish Charlie” Tuttle, a retired Texas Ranger, spent many years chasing down criminals. Now happily enjoying his retirement in Wolfwater, Texas, he spends his days fishing for the elusive catfish named Bubba in the pond near his shack. He also enjoys the company of his loyal tomcat Hooligan Hank and indulging in bottles of mustang berry wine. While his glory days are in the past, Charlie has no reason to consider returning to his former life...
Everything changes when a notorious outlaw, Frank Thorson, orchestrates a jailbreak in Wolfwater to free his brother. In their escape, they leave a trail of death and destruction, including the abduction of the town marshal’s daughter. Desperate for justice, the townspeople turn to the retired and somewhat inebriated Catfish Charlie to take up arms once more and pursue the ruthless gang. Despite his rustiness, Charlie’s skills in delivering justice remain unmatched...
Once a lawman, always a lawman - especially when it comes to Catfish Charlie Tuttle.
