Another Irish Spalpeen
Tom Shanaghy is another of Louis L'Amour's Irish spalpeens who arrives in the west dirty and broke and looking for work. And with the only job being open being the marshal's he takes it. Good with fists, and strong as an ox, he believes he can handle who ever and what ever shows up in town, but he didn't figure on vengeful trail drivers or an outfit of gold thieves to contend with. This is a good enough book to read with plenty of action--especially fist fights--L'Amour's speciality as he was a pro boxer himself at one point in his varied life. If you like him as a writer at all, then you will like this book.
