The Complete Midnight Cowboy: The Shorty Thompson Western Tales
With a gun in hand, Shorty Thompson deals with the problems he faces… and over time he has become legendary as a U.S. marshal. This new collection pulls together three of his great adventures in one easy to read volume. In this book you will find “U.S. Marshal,” “The Long Trail to Nowhere” and “Black Pearls, Blue Diamonds and Bullets!”
Matt was one of Shorty’s best friends. They had worked on ranches together back in their teen years and were as close as any brothers. Shorty told his partner, Buffalo, he may be gone for months but would write when he could. That night, he cleaned and oiled his guns. As the sun came up the next morning, he was miles closer to Big Spring, Texas in “U.S. Marshal.”
U.S. Marshal Shorty Thompson is on the case again when a young English girl and her brother are robbed of the precious family jewels they are trying to safely get to San Francisco. Outlaws abound, all trying to get their hands on the loot, but they have a bit of a surprise when they come face to face with scrappy young Margret, backed up by Shorty. Plenty of bullets are shot both ways, but will the bad guys win? Excitement, shoot-outs, and life or death situations ensue, all over some black pearls and blue diamonds. This is “Black Pearls, Blue Diamonds and Bullets” from Paul L. Thompson.
And in “The Long Trail to Nowhere,” Ronnie Cox slowly saddled his horse, stowing all his traveling gear and tying it tightly.
Walking to the main house, he knocked on the door.
Jack Johnson opened it with a smile. “Come on in, Ronnie.”
Ronnie stood with hat in hand. “Mister Johnson, I’s needing to draw my pay, as I’ll be taking up the trail after a bit.”
Little did he know, this trail to nowhere was going to lead to a whole lot of trouble, and he was slowly riding that way.
This collection also includes three collections that pay tribute to Paul L. Thompson and his legendary character Shorty Thompson.
You’ll also love the latest Paul L. Thompson bestseller. “The Widow” is available now!

Some mighty fine storytelling by a gathering of great Authors paying respect to one of the .masters of old American folklore adventures. I enjoyed each and every presentation, but especially the Shorty Thompson and Ronnie Cox stories.
Nothing but a five star masterpiece of entertainment by the cream of the crop western Authors. If you like western adventures, then this book should meet you most demanding desires, as it is one exciting episode after the other. Plenty of gunplay and a just enough suspenseful speculations from beginning to end to whet your appetite. Too, I found it hard to set this book aside, but even the most dedicated western reader has to eat.
This outstanding variety of artists definitely did their homework as their character selections were outstandingly selected for their assigned duties. Too, their storylines definitely represented, what I perceive to e realistic accomplishments of how our old American folklore explorers really tamed the West! Great camaraderie among the good guys and their devotion to overcoming undue hardships to successfully accomplish justice is unsurpassed. Very heartwarming episodes from beginning to end!!!
Definitely recommend this compassionate series of accolades to one of the most outstanding Authors of realistic western folklore adventures, and their outstanding descriptiveness of his attributes are well deserving! Please don't miss the opportunity to these exceptionally entertaining revelations of Mr. Paul L. Thompson, or the loss will certainly be yours. Regardless of your reading pleasure, these stories will definitely appease your appetite!!!😂
