    About this ebook

    Summer was still in the air when Murdock walked down the main street of the town and thought about his own problems--a good feeling after years of thinking about the problems of others. He was no longer Marshal Murdock. Now, he was John Murdock, rancher and private citizen. The marshal's job was another man's responsibility now, not Murdock's. But trouble was brewing between a cattleman and a farmer that could end in a gun showdown. And the new marshal wasn't dealing with it. What should Murdock do?

      MARSHAL

      Summer was still in the air when Murdock walked down the main street of the town and thought about his own problems—a good feeling after years of thinking about the problems of others. He was no longer Marshal Murdock. Now, he was John Murdock, rancher and private citizen.
