"Half the fun of living is the danger of dying."

What a surprise this novel was! I had not known about this series when I came across it in a bookstore.This is #1 in the series that started in 1983 and was reprinted in June 2003. I have been a long time fan of the Longarm,LoneStar and Trailsman series,so I thought I would give this one a try. I found it a great,action-packed read;much along the lines of these other series.I don't know if there is really an author by the name of Dirk Fletcher, or if several writers write under this name. I'll have to do some digging. Looks like the series has been continuing since 1983 so there are a lot of episodes. I'm not surprised that this one is still 'on the go' as it has all the elements of a great weatern yarn.The artwork is also real good and representive of the characters in the story..which is also a big plus with me. Each of the main characters in these long running series have similarities as well as differences. Spur McCoy grew up in New York City,the son of a well-known merchant,graduated from Harvard in 1959.Voluntered for the army in 1861 and was a Captain when the war was over.After the war, he worked in Washinton for Senator Walton of New York.In 1865 the Secret Service Act was passed and Charles Spur McCoy was appointed one of the first U.S. Secret Service agents.He was transferred to the office in St.Louis where he handled all agency work west of the Mississippi.He was chosen for the posting because he was the only agent who could ride a horse and had won the service markmanship contest.Skills that would be invaluable in the days ahead. This first assignment has Spur heading to Durango,Colorado in pursuit of counterfeiters. The storyline is very good and we meet up with some real interesting Old West characters. Along the way, Spur comes across a settler's wife ,whose husband has been murdered before her eyes,and she has been left for dead by Rawhides. Little did they expect what would follow from this determined lady! A great read, and I plan to read some more episodes in this long-running series.
