An American original, the great Johnny D. Boggs weaves a Texas-sized tale of an 1880s badlands–under the grasp of a lawman gone rogue. . .
In For Justice
In For The Kill
Between the Pecos River and Rio Grande a vast, harsh land was ruled by Texas Rangers Captain Hector Savage. Savage’s motive wasn’t duty, it was money; he’s turned this desolate place into a bloodied, terrorized kingdom. Now, a protégé of Savage, Sergeant Dave Chance, has come with a prisoner–a big-talking murderer in his own right–shackled at his side. A decent, honest Ranger, Chance cannot stand idly by while Savage runs roughshod over the territory. Now, to save a traumatized people, he must turn his prisoner loose and give him a gun. Only their combined firepower can penetrate Savage’s fortress and kill him.
That is, if they don’t kill each other first. . .
