Long Hot Day in Waco
(2024)(Book 49 in the Timber: U.S. Marshal series)
A Novella by Jeff Crawford and Robert Hanlon
Acclaimed bestselling authors Robert Hanlon and Jeff Crawford team up for a brand new rip-roaring Western adventure featuring U.S. Marshal Timber!
Ivan "Ivy" Branch is the sheriff of Waco, and on one particularly hot Tuesday, he is going to find out that trouble has come to his town, but what is worse is that he will begin finding out that some already knew of what was going to happen and hadn't felt inclined to let him in on it.
Nathan Stilwell is a name known to many in Texas who wear the badge, but just because they know of him does not mean that they have ever gathered enough proof to put him away as he should be. Now this giant of a man is in Waco with eleven other men and Sheriff Ivy Branch has no idea what their intentions are; he only knows that he is one man against an incredibly powerful storm. But a reply to a telegram he sent asking for help brings a ray of light, at least that is how Ivy is choosing to see it.
U. S. Marshal Timber tells Ivy upon arriving that he has an idea why Stilwell and his boys are in town, and then tells a story that Governor Fullerton would as soon stay buried. A story involving Stilwell and a passenger that is to be aboard the train when it stops in Waco the following day. As if two men standing against twelve gun hands isn't enough to make the lawmen earn their pay, throw in a shipment of gold and folding money that no one knows is coming aside from Stilwell, the agent in the railroad depot, and the traitor that no one has ever had cause to suspect, and you have the makings for A long Hot Day In Waco.
Together fighting beside, and sometimes at odds with, the local sheriff, Timber will not only help to unravel a plan within a plan, but also see to it that things that should have happened long ago are finally taken care of. And the discovery that not all things can be made right with the power of the gun will be made, as Timber and the sheriff will find out.
