The Stockton Saga 3: A Man to Reckon with

The Stockton Saga continues. Deputy U.S. Marshal Cole Stockton must escort a fugitive who fled to Canada to avoid a murder warrant back to Judge Wilkerson's court in Denver. With prisoner in tow, he discovers that his lady friend, horse rancher Laura Sumner, is overdue to deliver remounts to Fort Laramie in the Wyoming Territory.

Stockton comes upon devastation. Three of Laura's men are dead, the remaining wranglers wounded and horseless, and Laura is missing. When the lawman searches for Laura and the perpetrators he must also keep reign on his prisoner. In the wilds of Wyoming, he realizes that utilizing the character and skills of the person under warrant are his only hope in the rancher's rescue.

From dealing with ambushers who outnumber him twelve to one, to facing a hired killer dispatched to execute him, to organizing and leading the rescue of Laura's trusted ranch hand from an evil Ranchero in Mexico, Cole Stockton embodies justice as he proves himself a man to reckon with.

A novel of the Old West, packed with the drama and suspense of wild horse hunts, interpersonal relationships, and outlaws handled with determination and six-gun justice.
