Death Comes 'Round the Mountain Lyle Bradley

Target: Melvin Mansfield! Someone wants Melvin Mansfield dead, but who? And why? James Emerson, co-manager of radio station GBS, has agreed to bring the staff to a dude ranch, owned by tycoon Judd Eben, as a new publicity ploy. No sooner does the staff arrive, when Melvin is nearly trampled by a pack of wild horses, is shot at in an open field, and is glued to the saddle of Stormcloud, a horse that locals say cannot be broken. During a sharpshooting competition Eben is killed, and each shooter seems to have a motive to have murdered him. As the staff tries to help the local sheriff, Jasper Worden, uncover the truth of his death, someone ramps up the attempts on Melvin's life. Will the GBS staff uncover the truth before the killer is successful in his attempts? Or will Melvin find himself six feet under?
