Arty and the Texas Ranger

Book Three in the The Adventures of Arty Anderson series.

Fourteen-year-old Arty Anderson can now ride and track like an Indian and defend himself expertly, but when he and his friend Jasper discover a man's body in Coyote Canyon with a Texas Ranger's badge pinned to his shirt and a "Wanted" poster in his pocket, all their skills are tested in order to solve the mystery. Following the example of his favorite fictional detective, Arty carefully gathers the subtle clues and pieces them together, leading him to a risky late-night adventure in town, an unexpected suspect, and a final, climactic, face-to-face meeting!
