Big Country, Big Men
(1969)(The eighth book in the Marshal Jeremy Six series)
A novel by Brian Wynne (Brian Garfield)
Jeremy Six, marshal of Spanish Flat, Arizona Territory, pocketed his law badge and rode across the Mexican border on a personal vendetta. His prey was Steve Lament - gambler, gunslinger, and the slayer of Jeremy’s girlfriend.
Six soon found himself embroiled in the chaos and destruction of the Mexican revolutionary struggle. Relying on instinct instead of common sense, Six found himself choosing sides - and the lawman in him was outraged.
But Jeremy Six was not the only one who struggled with his conscience even as he battled for his life. There was still Steve Lament …
The author of more than seventy books, Brian Garfield is one of USA’s most prolific writes of thrillers, westerns and other genre fiction. Raised in Arizona, Garfield found success at an early age, publishing his first novel when he was only eighteen – which, at the time, made him one of the youngest writers of Western novels in print.
A former ranch-hand, he is a student of Western and Southwestern history, an expert on guns, and a sports car enthusiast. After time in the Army, a few years touring with a jazz band, and a Master's Degree from the University of Arizona, he settled into writing full time.
Garfield is a past president of the Mystery Writers of America and the Western Writers of America, and the only author to have held both offices. Nineteen of his novels have been made into films, including Death Wish (1972), The Last Hard Men (1976) and Hopscotch (1975), for which he wrote the screenplay.
To date, his novels have sold over twenty million copies worldwide. Brian Garfield died on December 29 2018. He and his wife lived in California.
