It’s 1876 Arizona and the territory may never become a state unless it can bring its outlaw problem under control. Only recently an illegal territory wide whiskey cartel was responsible for the murder of a beautiful young innocent woman.
Governor Anson Safford believes he may have the man to turn it all around. He is Pinkerton Detective Denver McCoy on loan from the fledgling Department of Justice.
Denver will have to use all of his cunning to go up against a gang, which lingers in the shadows and remains elusive. It’s led by Herman “Birchwood” Hatcher, who has his hands involved in several evil activities.
Along the way of establishing justice, Denver must come to grips a few of his inner challenges. He is also charmed by the beautiful Grace van der Holland, twin sister of the murdered young woman. Watch as Denver metes out justice.
Another classic western with respectful romance and women as strong frontier folk from author William Black.
Each book in the Post-Civil War Western Justice series is a standalone story that can be read out of order.

You non-western readers will definitely enjoy following these dedicated individuals in their quest to bring justice to those responsible for their wrongful misdeeds of death and illegal activities!!!😃
Loved a good story and a good man, Denver McCoy. Loved the storyline and the rescue of kidnapped women and children. Hey one real good Indian was in there also. An evil, greedy man created a business empire of selling whiskey, forcing men to sell it while kidnapping and abusing the women and children in their life. That tortuous evil compound was infiltrated twice with good results. A lady agent was very handy in the cause. She joined because her twin sister had been killed earlier in the story. Always fun to revisit characters from the Silver Hills Ranch, especially retired sharp-shooter, Rachael, from the circus.
Really enjoyed this book. A true example of what a western should be. The good guys are good and the bad guys are bad, and we aren't confused between the two! Great read!
Denver McCoy was a Pinkerton detective who was hired by the Governor to get rid of a bad gang who rob, kidnap and kill people to buy their illegal whiskey.
I couldn't finish the book. Cannot stand the writing style of the author. To simple and far fetched to be realistic....and all the religious undertones take away from the story.
