The Hangin' Judge

Raised a sheltered and spoiled child, Ben Carson was a real no-good...lazy and without drive or ambition in his life. A murderous chance encounter with a saloon bully sets him on the path of crime and vicious torture. Robbery, murder and arson became his passions.

His crime spree gets noticed and the notorious Hangin' Judge assigns Federal Marshal Jeremiah Cash to hunt down this scourge to society...and he takes that job seriously. Despite the drawbacks of being a black lawman in the late 1800's, the Marshal is known as a no-nonsense lawman that gets the job done. But Ben Carson is both evil and slippery; his ability to deceive and disappear again is legendary. The battle of wits between these two men creates the biggest challenge of Marshal Cash's career. Will his quarry be captured alive and face the Hangin’ judge or will he be brought back in a pine box?

Exciting western action—a gut-punch of harsh violence and western justice by author W.R. Benton.
