The Maverick Marshal: A Traditional Western Adventure (Harper's Justice 2) - Paperback

by R. J. Sloane (Author)

When the law is corrupt, only a maverick can set it right.

Deputy U.S. Marshal Flynn Harper has built his reputation on one rule: bring them in dead or alive. When a federal warrant arrives for A.C. Beaumont, a master swindler bleeding the railroads dry, Flynn rides hard for Holbrook, expecting a routine arrest.

Instead, he finds a town tangled in lies. The evidence? Too perfect. The witnesses? Too rehearsed. And the terrified shopkeeper's daughter is desperate to protect a man she swears isn't a thief.

The deeper Flynn digs, the more tangled the trail becomes-until it leads to the last name he ever expected: his own.

Flynn's trusted his Colt .45 and unshakable instincts. But Holbrook isn't playing by the old rules, and neither is he. With corrupt officials, escaped convicts, and a criminal network closing in, this maverick marshal must decide if the badge on his chest still stands for justice or if it's just another brand of power.

Because in a land where justice hangs by a thread (and sometimes by a rope), Flynn Harper will learn the most dangerous enemy isn't the outlaw you're hunting. It's the system you're sworn to serve.

A gritty Western tale of betrayal, redemption, and moral courage, set against the raw beauty of the Arizona frontier in 1899.
