About this ebook
1870 Nebraska.
Sam D’Eath and Judge Aldermire make an unlikely team.
Their task is to dispense tough frontier justice and the Judge likes to keep things simple in his circuit court, which means that most cases end in a terminal way. But bad news travels fast and when it reaches Sam he has to leave off stretching necks to take time out for some personal justice.
The trail he and the Judge follow takes them to Capable Springs and a crime that cuts Sam to the heart. As they seek out the perpetrators there are a few distractions along the way, there’s a vicious cannibal on the loose and a sensual half-breed girl that catches Sam’s eye. With a professional gunman and a wealthy rancher waiting in the sidelines, it takes more than a length of hemp rope and a noose to settle the score.
Solving the case and finding the perpetrators takes Sam and the Judge deeper into a devious scheme that unexpectedly reaches far beyond the sleepy town. As a result the townsfolk of Capable Springs face a vengeful band of gunmen eager to stop the news from ever getting out and if it means the town’s total destruction, well, that’s just too bad.
The town soon discovers that wherever they go, things are never the same after Mister D’Eath and The Judge come calling.

It’s not such a big step from pictures to writing.And that’s how it started out for me. I’ve illustrated more Western book covers than I care to mention and been doing it for a long time. No hardship, I hasten to add, I love the genre and have since a kid, although originally I made my name painting the cover art for other people, now at least, I manage to create covers for my own books.A long-term closet writer, only comparatively recently, with a family grown and the availability of self-publishing have I managed to be able to write and get my stories out there.As I did when illustrating, research counts a lot and has inspired many of my Westerns and Thrillers to have a basis in historical fact or at least weave their tale around the seeds of factual content.Having such a visual background, mostly it’s a matter of describing the pictures I see in my head and translating them to the written page. I guess that’s why one of my early four-star reviewers described the book like a ‘Western movie, fast paced and full of action.’I enjoy writing them; I hope folks enjoy reading the results.
