Ralph Compton Ride the Hammer Down

Written by Ralph Compton and Terrence McCauley

Narrated by Graham Winton

Fighting against overwhelming odds, a lawman seeks to save the town he's sworn to protect from a dangerous gang.

Marshal John Beck was the law in the dangerous town of Mother Lode, Arizona. On his own, he’d managed to keep bandits, rustlers, and desperados at
bay. It was a tough job for one man to handle, but he made it work … until the day Bram Hogan and his Brickhouse Gang got the drop on the lawman.

They beat Beck to within an inch of his life and dropped him in the desert, where nothing but a slow, painful death awaited him. But the gang
underestimated Beck. At his lowest point, he found a way to survive. Now he’s coming back, and anyone who stands against him is going to ride the hammer down to the grave.
