Land of Strangers: A Western Duo

Ray Hogan

Thorndike Press, Jan 9, 2013 - Fiction - 271 pages

Ray Hogan brings two classic stories to life with his trademark flair for capturing the West as it really was. In "Ben Sutton's Law," a territorial marshal is summoned to Mexican Springs to intervene in the violence that has broken out between the cattle ranchers and the nesters. But Sutton's mission is to be kept secret, even from the local sheriff. "Land of Strangers" finds Frank Brokaw hopeful, as he rides into the Scattered Hills, that he is nearing the end of his search for Matt Slade and the proceeds from a bank robbery.
