âThe Man From Mustangâ is the first book in Max Brandâs famed Silvertip series and itâs a decent read. He was incredibly prolific and wrote numerous books under his birth name (Frederick Faust) and a variety of pseudonyms. Today he is best known for his work published as Max Brand. The set-up of a young bank clerk framed for robbery and murder proves a worthy puzzle for Silvertip to run down, and, in saving the innocent and tracking down the real culprits, his hazards provide plenty of excitement. In âThe Man from Mustangâ, Silvertip hunts a man whose face heâs never seen... and whose name he doesnât know!
