The Stranglers: A Classic Western Novel - Paperback

by Loren D. Estleman (Author)

Page Murdock, Deputy U.S. Marshal.

In Montana Territory, justice comes in two forms: the slow hammer of the judge's gavel or the swift crack of a gunshot. Page Murdock has mastered both, but he's about to face an enemy as ruthless as they are shadowy. The Stranglers don't bother with trials or prisoners. They dispense their law from the end of a rope, and they have a particular taste for the necks of men who wear badges.

As Murdock tracks the gang across the wild frontier, the Stranglers close in, determined to make him their next victim. With each brutal killing, the noose tightens, forcing Murdock into a deadly showdown where survival means outgunning his enemies-and outrunning their ropes.

Will Montana's most fearless lawman deliver justice, or will the Stranglers take his final breath?
