Kindle Edition Amazon Stan Lynde Category:  Western Publisher: Amazon Digital Services ISBN-10:  B006RMR4HM Type: Fiction "A particularly rewarding novel written by one of the finest Western novelists of our times. Stan Lynde's novels are laced with wry humor, thoughts on the art of living and growing, toughness and tenderness, and the keenest understanding of human nature I've ever seen in fiction." --Richard S. Wheeler, Seven-time SPUR Award winner and recipient of the 2001 Owen Wister Award. U.S. Deputy Marshal Merlin Fanshaw arrives at the Crow Indian Reservation with orders to restore law and order. But a powerful rancher and his son block the deputy's efforts in order to retain their rigid control over the nearby settlement of Medicine Lodge. When a shocking murder rocks the town, tension and violence escalates between the Crow Indians and the settlers. Fanshaw must bring in the killer before an innocent man loses his life--or he forfeits his own.

Kirkus Discovery Reviews
"Lynde's pleasant, genuine narration, tinged with both wit and grit, carries
the narrative; the authenticity, country humor, and vibrant characters all
make for a warmly entertaining read. Satisfying Western fare, in the vein of
Louis L'Amour."
