Sudden--Strikes Back (A Sudden Western #1)
“His office was a reflection of this fact; it gave no indication of the personality of the man who worked in it, or, indeed, that anyone worked in it at all. There was a huge safe in one corner, a desk, a chair for the banker and two upright chairs for visitors, and a small filing case against the wall. The room had two doors; one admitted visitors from the main part of the bank, while the other led to a stairway which rose to de Witt’s personal quarters above the bank. No every-day customer of ...the bank had ever been admitted to those quarters, although the office was open to all, especially on this day.
Nevertheless, at the time that Sudden was finalizing his arrangements with Newman, the mine manager, the door between de Witt’s office and the bank was locked and the blinds were drawn, while a sign hanging outside read ‘Back in one hour’. Inside the office, the blinds on the single window were also drawn. Standing facing the seated banker was a huge, hulking brute of a man with a long, evil face scarred down one side by an old knife wound which ran from just below the lobe of the left ear to the comer of the mouth, giving the hatchet face an evil leer.MoreLess

Another stupid error by this ridiculous writer. Nobody could detect any interval between the shots. There were only FOUR shots, andthe first one "supposedly" put the can, bad shape and much wind resistance included, FIFTY yards away before the seconfs shot hit it again, knocking it a good distance away and then another shot and another. By this time, it must have been five miles away, an "easy range for a pistol"So stupid this guy is that I'm reading these books as I would P. G. Wodehouse. Ot W. r. Jacobs barge stories..

The bullet burn that Sudden put on the 4 Shadows was not just on the earlobe. The descriptions said that it was across the cheek and earlobe. So the cheeek mark would definitely be more prominent.

What does Sudden mean when in speaking of the banker, he says"well, if I didn'y know better \I'd say he had indian blood in him spmewhere"...This is meaningless as so many phrases in Christian's books are. ''If I didn't know better'\\.\he never met the man before so how should he have "known better".... Typical Christian DREK.
