The Law and the Lawless

In the latest installment of the USA Today best-selling Ralph Compton series, the peaceful town of Alpine is thrown into chaos when a notorious gang, led by the Robin Hood-esque Cestus Calloway, robs a bank and begins redistributing their stolen wealth. As the local marshal, Boyd Cooper, longs for a quiet retirement, he reluctantly finds himself drawn into the conflict when tensions escalate and the gang threatens to abandon their own code of no-kill. With his community's safety at stake, Cooper must rally the townspeople to confront the avenging outlaws in a showdown that could turn deadly.
