A novel by

 
 
Fearless gunslingers. Defenders of justice. Not exactly.

To hear campfire tales and newspaper accounts, you'd think Buck Hawkins and Dobie Garrett were a pair of Old West legends. In truth, the hapless cowpokes would rather run than fight. Guns make them really nervous. But their quiet days punching cattle on the Singletree Ranch are about to come to a dangerous end.

Faced with an offer they can't refuse, Buck and Dobie hire on as special marshals for a cattle association plagued by rustlers, cow thieves and killings - with a range war just a gunshot away.

The town of Necesario is near the Texas-New Mexico line, a hundred miles from civilization and a foot and a half from hell. Buck and Dobie are probably the two men least qualified to solve the town's recent spate of murders. Even if they could shoot straight, Buck and Dobie would be headed for big-time trouble ...

Gene Shelton's rollicking story of two hard-luck outlaws trying to make it as U.S. Marshals in the baddest border town in the West. This book continues the adventures of Buck Hawkins and Dobie Garrett from Unwanted: Dead or Alive, at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FVIEHKO
