Legal Execution, the Marshall Called It
In this Avon original, Manning Cordell, an U S Marshal, uses his badge and his power to conduct "legal executions". He figured the only way to keep a man from breaking the law a second time was to kill him the first time. Many in the town thought he was just doing his job. But the piano player in Big Bessie's saloon knew what Cordell really was--a murderer--and before long he would have the town in his full control. Yet, it was none of Bob Shannon's business; he was just a piano player now, and he hadn't worn a gun in years. Will Cook writes another fast paced, action driven novel of the Old West as only he could do it. A good story clear to the end.
