Query: A rather dull read

From the back cover: Slocum has his hands full in boom-town L.A. with money-hungry bandits, knife-wielding pimps and gunslinging debtors on his back. Judge Boyer is filthy rich and willing to pay for protection--but Slocum's intincts tell him he's on the wrong side of the fence. A beautiful witness from the Rialto whorehouse and a prospersous family lead Slocum on a trail that stretches twenty years into the past.... his own!There's really not much going on in this Slocum. The plot and action are confined. I kept waiting for something to "happen," but nothing really did. Repetive. Slocum, himself, seemed wimpy and overly-concerned. He even takes on the part of a spur-of-the-moment defense attorney, which I found unbelievable. Slocum is at his best when he's tough, a little self-centered, and down-right mean. None of that here. 187 pages. Not recommended. *
