Synopsis
The 1870s. As opposed to the myths of popular culture, not everybody was swaggering around with six-irons strapped down and leading lives of mayhem. But there were the exceptions--every bit as evil, bloody and deadly as legends portray. And so too, was the law that handled these outlaws.

In the mold of men like Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp, M D "Shorty" Thompson is just that kind of lawman: Short on stature but tall on guts. Hand-picked by President Rutherford B. Hayes, he is one of best. And since United States Marshals of the 1870s handle desperados, this means just about everybody does seem to be using those strapped-down dragoons and wreaking havoc. For Marshal M D Thompson, its the life of a lawman.

In his time as a Lawman, Thompson had met plenty of horse thieves and killers. Some he had faced down with six irons and others he had sent to a just and proper reward at the end of a rope. But when a hunt for family-killing horse thieves crosses paths with bank robbers and a gunfighter bent on revenge, the Lawman finds more than hot lead or rope alone can handle.

Marshal Thompson returns in a story that partners the Lawman with a couple of Justice seeking twin brothers and a gunfighter toting a fifty-caliber Spencer. Complicated by a cattle stampede and a rancher's kidnapped wife, Thompson is embroiled in yet another running battle crossing territorial boundaries.

Narrated in the authentically seasoned dialect of a southwestern storyteller, the Marshal Thompson series pays tribute to the thrilling and heartbreaking hardships of our nation's western history. Accurately reconstructing the sweeping landscapes of the old west, these novels document the times and historical locations largely ignored by writers who have not been there. Paul L Thompson actually has been there, and you will feel like you were there, too.
