Deputy Joe Whitmore: A Western Adventure (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798830504256)

Russell J. Atwater, bestselling author of "The Cowan Family Saga", delivers another exciting Western Adventure of good vs evil.

Colorado, 1877.

Joe Whitmore seeks his fortune in the newly established mining town of Leadville. He hopes to settle down in a job that doesn't require his guns, while dealing with his scars of battles long gone.

But Leadville is a rough town, and the local mining magnate Hudson Crawley seeks to make it his own.

When a local shopkeeper is murdered for refusing to pay protection money, Joe finds himself forced to take up his guns and a tin star as a Deputy U.S. Marshal. His task is to bring Hudson Crawley to justice.

But Crawley is slippery and powerful. He may go to jail, but swears to beat the murder charge he's facing by any means necessary.

Will Joe be able to overcome his memories of the war to thwart the evils in the present? The safety and lives of several witnesses for the upcoming trial are at stake.
