Their job was to defeat the new republic ... or die trying!

His mission: to bring law and order to a violent land where men had their throats cut for a poke of gold dust, claim-jumpers operated in broad daylight and desperadoes took what they wanted at the point of a gun.

They had spies everywhere and a hundred guns to back them. Only one man dared to stand against them. Rem McAllister. A man who had quit law enforcement. A man who hated pinning his badge back on. And when they trampled on him, humiliated him, kidnaped and threatened to kill his stepson, they made a big and fatal mistake.Previously published as DEATH AT NOON.
