Synopsis

A detective uses his gun to speak for the oppressed in this Ralph Compton western.

Former big city detective John McBride is an easy-going man—until people rub him the wrong way. So he’s less than pleased when the fast-gun marshal of Rest and Be Thankful warns him to behave himself, or else he’ll wind up swinging next to the three hanged men outside of town.

Driven by the plight of the town’s terrified citizenry, and one beautiful woman in particular, McBride takes on the local lawman, an evil mayor and his cruel son, and a small army of hired gunmen. 

Helped by a mysterious white-haired preacher who shoots first and asks questions later, McBride will give the townsfolk reason to be thankful—and their vicious tormentors eternal rest in hell.

À propos de l'auteur

Ralph Compton stood six-foot-eight without his boots. He worked as a musician, a radio announcer, a songwriter, and a newspaper columnist. His first novel, The Goodnight Trail, was a finalist for the Western Writers of America Medicine Pipe Bearer Award for best debut novel. He was also the author of the Sundown Rider series and the Border Empire series.

As a little boy growing up in a small fishing village in Scotland, Joseph West enjoyed many happy Saturday mornings at the local cinema in the company of Roy and Gene and Hoppy. His lifelong ambition was to become a cowboy, but he was sidetracked by a career in law enforcement and journalism. He now resides with his wife and daughter in Palm Beach, Florida, where he enjoys horse riding, cowboy action shooting, and studying Western history.
