The Sheriff of Elk Ridge

“Crimson killer lights suddenly flashed in the gunhawk’s eyes. With lithe agility he flung himself aside and down in the gun snatch” … Red Kyle beat the killer’s friends. Thus began the savage warfare that was to embroil all of Elk Ridge. On the one hand flame-tempered Red and his friends, and on the other, the ruthless jackals of a corrupt law office.

And alone against both sides was young Flip Nickerson, the new deputy sheriff. Flip’s sweetheart couldn’t understand or forgive a duty that was not to be turned aside by friendship. But Red did, when he smiled a wry smile at the sheriff as they faced off over drawn guns.

This is not only story of a bloody battle, but also a story of a friendship that was stranger than duty. A friendship that gathered in Jim Baggot, football star from the East, and Claire Waddell, daughter of the arch enemy. A friendship that, at last, turned disaster into triumph and brought both law and justice to Elk Ridge.

Here is a fast, crackling novel that brings a note of cheerful humor and gay romance into the chronicle of stratagems and smoking guns.
