Midnight Round Up
(1944)(A book in the Powder Valley Western series)
A novel by Peter Field (Davis Dresser)
An all-star gang of villains descends on peaceful Powder Valley
On a tawdry street in the heart of Denver, men crowd into the saloon for two reasons: cheap whiskey and Connie Dawson. The loveliest singer in Colorado, Connie has a golden voice and a brassy personality, but along with a crooked preacher, a hotshot gambler, and the fastest gunman in town, she's about to find herself in a whole lot of trouble. All four owe the sinister Judge Prink a favor - and he's ready to collect.
Prink has recently discovered the idyllic township of Powder Valley, home to Sheriff Pat Stevens and his faithful friends Sam and Ezra, and declared it ripe for the picking. With the help of his indentured gang of miscreants, he plans to strip the innocent little community bare. But when he meets Powder Valley's courageous trio, Prink comes face to face with the law of the gun.
