13. The Left Hand of the Law by Charles West

Sun Aug 3, 2025, 08:18 PM

Aug 3

I like reading an Old West Shootem up on occasion. No cell phones, no computers, no crime labs. A rancher shoots a deputy sheriff who killed the ranchers wife and son and burned down his barn and thought he killed the rancher in Southeast Kansas back in the 1880s. The rancher gets revenge.
No doubt its a justified shooting, but the rancher is found guilty. Then the fun begins when a Deputy Marshall comes after the rancher.

My Wife had cataract surgery last year. Worked out fine. She’s glad she had it. The Eye Doc says I ain’t ready yet.

Best of Luck to you.
