Arizona Pay-Off: The Lone Cowboy Returns by Alan David, a pseudonym for the prolific multi-genre author Donald S. Rowland (ISFDB, Science Fiction Encyclopedia ) is his vintage wild western historical adventure tale with strong mystery/suspense elements, as a man newly returned to Arizona after a long absence finds himself relying on potentially unreliable friends to solve the mystery of his uncle's murder and potentially taking the law into his own hands, free courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press' Pioneering imprint, who are e-printing it from its 1972 edition originally out from Robert Hale under the pseudonym Hank Madison.

Description
When Cal Carver returns to Arizona looking for his uncle, he’s a very different man…
He’s no longer the boy who’d left town in shame after losing a fight with Buster Forbes.
When Cal sets eyes on Buster Forbes, the two of them immediately pick up where they left off, trying to knock the tar out of each other.
Some things never change.
But when Cal’s uncle is found murdered, Cal will have to combine his new skills as a grown man with his old life in Arizona.
He’ll need to rely on his old friends, but he has no way of knowing which old friends really want to help him and which ones think Cal himself might be the murderer.
At first Cal is happy to work with the Sheriff and his hot-headed deputy, but he’s getting nowhere.
Maybe it’s time for Cal Carver to take the law into his own hands?
But with his own life in the balance, will the gamble pay-off?
Alan David reveals his plot layer by layer, taking the reader on a journey of intrigue and mystery in the Old West.
