    About this ebook

    What would you do if your spouse was murdered?

    The answer comes in an exciting new western novelette from author S. D. Parker, written in the style of Louis L'Amour, James Reasoner, Robert Vaughn, and C. K. Crigger.

    Isabella Gilmour woke one morning thinking it was just another day. It wasn't. It was the day the horrifying news thundered down on her: her husband had been shot dead by Bart Conway, the scion of the biggest cattle rancher of Junction City, Texas. In her moment of anguish, she invokes Mosaic Law: an eye for an eye, a life for a life.

    She makes a simple request of her father: "Go get Stephen's rifle."

    Her desperate father begs her to let the legal system work. She claims the right to kill her husband's killer.

    Will she, or will she let justice come in the form of a bullet?

    If you like reading Ron Schwab, Chet Cunningham, and Frank Leslie, then you'll love "Mosaic Law".
