Trigger Law

by Neil Webb

Lee Forder was shocked when his brother Hart, the depot boss for Wells Fargo, was sentenced to death for robbery and murder. Despite being accused of robbing the coaches, Lee was certain his brother was innocent and decided to prove it by tracking down the outlaws he was sure had framed Hart. Sheriff Bunn of Fairly offered to help but was limited by the anger of the town mob who threatened to lynch Hart as a punishment and cause trouble for Lee by association. Bunn pinned a deputy badge on Lee and smuggled him out of the town, giving him recommendations of friends he could call on for aid in hunting the outlaws. But the star didn’t give him any protection when he came up against Curly Bronson’s gang and the killer Marshal Hagen of Caribou, both experienced and lethal gun-hands. Lee was not a professional lawman. He had been a cowboy most of his working life, but he set out to prove his brother’s innocence, and trigger law was the only way of handling the chore. With the outlaw gang and the crooked marshal hellbent on keeping Lee’s mouth shut, Forder’s life hung in the balance.
