WILLOW LANE

by PAUL THOMPSON

Nestled in the gold and silver mining communities of the New Mexico territories, hard-working Spanish villagers rear families while working side-by-side with decent mining owners whose property is coveted for the riches. Owned by various individuals, these properties provide a comfortable and stable economy for the communities. But what if one man owned them all--and for next to nothing as payroll could keep the villagers producing nuggets? Apparently those were Manco Dillon's thoughts when he clamped down his vice-like hold of murder and greed on an off-the-beaten-path mining community.

In Willow Lane that's what Marshal Thompson stumbles into when returning two children he has happened across while en route on personal horse business. His detour to the Lane Ranch yields up an educated woman named Willow Lane--herself recently returned from back east to find the family ranch stolen and her father and brothers missing.

For most criminals of the old west, greed is the driving force. But for those like Dillion, greed is merely the symptom of much deeper sins, and Marshal Thompson is about to bring down the wrath of God amid gunfire and Mother Nature's own ill-timed deluge.

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.
