The Iron Marshal – Louis L’amour

NEW YORK JUSTICE
He was a tough enforcer for a New York City street gang in the infamous Five Points district. But when young Tom Shanaghy made one too many enemies, he skipped town on a fast-moving freight train heading west. He landed in a small Kansas town that had big dreams, no name, and the need for an honest lawman. Tom figured that a knuckle-and-skull man from New York would be perfect for the job. He didn’t know that a high-stakes cattle drive was headed his way and that the man leading it was Vince Patterson, a hardened rancher bent on settling an old score- even if he had to destroy the town to do it. Tom got himself stuck in the middle of the feud before the sun set on his first day in town. All he could do was hope that his years on the Bowery had left him with the smarts he needed to keep himself alive.
