Lawbringers

This powerful historical novel tells the story of Burt Mossman and the near-legendary force he commanded-the ruthlessly effective Arizona Rangers. Under Captain Mossman, these men performed the herculean task of taming the Arizona Territory in preparation for its statehood in 1912. Mossman was a rugged individualist-a powerful, just, and severely self-disciplined man. Here, in all its exciting detail, is the story of his single-minded battle for law and order: his struggle with the Territorial Legislature and with public opinion, his fights with hundreds of vicious outlaws who used Arizona as hideout and headquarters, and, in particular, his dramatic contest with Augustin Chacon, the Indian bandit who was the scourge of the Southwest and Mossman's personal demon.

In 1890, America was closing in on them. So there, on a piece of Arizonan land fit only for misfits, they built Ocotillo. And for that town of a thousand desperate men and women there was only one man for the High Sheriff of Mogollon County-Farris Rand. Tough enough to keep them in line and smart enough to keep the rest of the world out. But Farris Rand had something to hide. A mistake he'd made years ago. A mistake that one day rode into town with a gun and a vengeance. A mistake a man can pay for in only one way-with his life.

While the blizzard raged outside, the cabin trembled, its beams creaking in the night. Thrown together by the storm and forced into each other's company, seven men and a girl strained against the intimate confinement, their nerves rubbed raw. There were the saddlebags full of gold, hidden somewhere on the premises. There was the feud between the rancher and the homesteader, ready to break out anew at any moment. There was the matter of the buffalo gun, which had already killed a deputy and could be brought out to kill again. And, above all, there was the half-breed girl, fair game for men who believed in taking what they wanted, at the point of a gun, if necessary. Two, three days? No one knew how long the storm would last. And nobody knew how long human nerves could stand the strain. All that was certain was that trouble would come-and someone would die!

Who Hired the Killer to Walk Our Streets?That was the headline of the Lodestar newspaper. The answer was Krayle MacIver.Krayle had hired the killer because he figured it was high time something was done about the trigger-happy band of toughs and bandits that were wrecking the town.
