(2021)(A book in the Marshal Devine series)
An omnibus of novels by I J Parnham
Devine's Law – Marshal Jake T. Devine’s law is simple. Nobody threatens him and lives. In his twenty-five years of law enforcement he’s always brought in his man with a bullet blasted between the eyes. So when Max Randall shoots his mouth off, claiming he knows a devastating secret about the wealthy rancher, Roy Cowie, he’s clearly spoiling for trouble – and gets it!
Roy Cowie calls in Devine to arrest Max and without provocation the brutal marshal slaughters Max’s entire family. In self-preservation Max heads for the hills with Devine and his deadly Peacemaker in hot pursuit. Even when Max gains an unlikely ally in Roy Cowie’s son, his chances of seeing another sunrise are slim.
Can Max survive long enough to reveal what he knows, or will the gun-toting marshal deliver yet another round of Devine’s law?
Devine's Mission – When Lachlan McKinley raids Fairmount Town’s bank, the four-thousand dollar bounty that is posted on his head attracts plenty of manhunters, but everyone that goes after him ends up dead.
Bounty hunter Jonathon Lynch reckoned he could do better. Lachlan is Jonathon’s step-brother and his mission is personal, but when he joins the hunt he soon discovers that all is not as it seems and Lachlan may, in fact, be innocent. Worse, U.S. Marshal Jake Devine is also after Lachlan.
Devine is more likely to destroy the peace than to keep it, and so can Jonathon bring the guilty to justice before Devine does his worst?Devine – Pinkerton detective Nimrod Dunn is hired by Lieutenant Governor Maddox Kingsley to infiltrate an outlaw gang, but when Nimrod’s cover is blown an innocent life is lost in the raging gun battle.
With Nimrod’s detective career in tatters, the fearsome U.S. Marshal Jake T. Devine sets about bringing the outlaw Cornelius to justice. Devine always gets his man, but his methods are as brutal as those whom he pursues.
So with Devine’s blood-soaked trail making a mockery of the Governor’s promise to clean up the county, Maddox calls on Nimrod’s services once more. And, to resurrect his career, Nimrod must carry out the most dangerous mission yet: to kill Marshal Devine.
