From a winner of the Western Heritage Trustees Award: The thrilling
story of a sheriff caught between his outlaw in-laws and the woman he
loves. Being the sheriff of Sutton County is no easy job, but Reese
Branham keeps the peace—even though his own wife comes from the
dreaded Hoad clan. The Hoads have always been troublemakers. And when
one of them murders a man in cold blood, Branham does his duty, only
to watch in dismay as the jury lets the killer go free. Being a
woman on the harsh frontier is bad enough. But Jen Truro is also the
local prosecutor, and when a killer walks free because the jury
doesn’t trust her, it’s a hard pill to swallow. Complicating the
situation is her past with Branham, whom she spurned one too many
times, driving him to marry a woman he doesn’t love. The Hoad
clan is not a forgiving family, and when they plan a massive cattle
heist, they have to know Branham won’t get in the way. If his wife
can’t convince the lawman to mind his own business, the Hoads will
be damned if they let him—or his old flame—stop them. A legend
of western fiction, Luke Short broke the trail for writers such as
Louis L’Amour and Elmore Leonard. Paper Sheriff is an unforgettable
tale of the men and women brave enough to tame the Old West.
