It is 1952, and it is no secret that Sam White rules De Leon County
in South Texas. His word is law-one that is dangerous to break.
When seventeen-year-old Bradley Vincent falls in love and secretly
proposes to White's mistress, Jody Munslow, he quickly learns that
no one messes with White. After a brawl with the sheriff and his
two deputies lands Brad in jail, his father reveals that White has
used a counterfeit deed to steal the Vincent family ranch. Furious,
heartbroken, and determined not to let the Duke of De Leon County
get away with the crime, Brad lies his way through a court hearing,
during which White makes it clear he wants the young man out of
town and away from Jody. Understanding the odds against him in a
fight against Sam-not least because of the Duke's secret surgical
weapon-Brad enrolls in law school, where he falls in love with a
fellow student while attempting to find a way to reverse the land
theft and save his former lover from White's wrath. If he does not
succeed, he may just be left with one alternative: murder. In this
exciting thriller, a law student and his girlfriend return to the
Texas Valley on a quest for something unheard of in De Leon County
under the Duke's reign. Justice.

THE ADVENTURES OF MARSHAL GABBY TUCKER VOLUME ONE: "FAMILY TIES IN
THE WEST" In this "Western" novel about the Tucker family, their
youngest son, "Lefty" had been kidnapped along with three Indian
children by two really mean and greedy men who intended on selling
them. Lefty was the youngest son of Marshal Gabby Tucker and his
wife Maggie. The Tucker family actually consisted of six separate
Tucker families, and they each also had boys, so there was no
chance of their family name every dying out. The Tucker families
join forces with the Indians in an effort to find their missing
children. All of the Tucker women join in the search for Lefty
also, and are as good with guns as their men and fight by their
sides when needed. One of the Tucker women is a doctor and tends to
all of the wounded with the help of some Indian squaws and two
other Tucker women. The Indians called her "Doctor Jo"; her name
was Jo Ann. All concerned thought that she was an incredible
doctor. Two of the Tucker women, who were mountain women from
Tennessee went out looking for their husbands alone because they
were lonely and feared the worst. They could rough the outdoors and
terrain because of their "Tom Boyish" style. They loved their flat
land men, and wanted to see them alive. The story shows love,
compassion, and desperation, but on the flip side of that it also
encompasses fighting, shooting, torturing, and killing too. There
are so many side scenes along the way through this book; you'll
find yourself laughing and then just minutes later you are brought
to tears. This is an incredibly great book; you won't be able to
put it down Authors: Jeff and Margaret Pyron Book I.D. # 58247
