Backed to the Wall

In the Dakota Territory of the 1870s, the line between outlaw and lawman is often blurred. Some of those sworn to protect the helpless might exploit them instead. And some of those deemed hard cases might yet redeem themselves. A lawman and an outlaw are plunged into a bloody battle that only one of them can survive―if the Indian raiders terrorizing the local homesteaders and cattlemen don't kill them first. It's not very often that you get the perfect marriage of author and book, but that's what you get with Backed to the Wall. Having always been a fan of Curt Wendelboe's Spirit Road Mysteries, I'd often wondered how he'd do at a straight ahead shoot-'em-up Western and the jury is in: Backed to the Wall will have you backed up and demanding more."e;—Craig Johnson, New York Times bestselling author of the Walt Longmire Mysteries
