Elmer Kelton, voted "The Greatest Western Writer of All
Time" by the Western Writers of America, is a legend in the
field of Western literature. Famous for his realistic
characters and accurate depictions of the history of his
home state of Texas, Elmer Kelton continues to write
exceptional novels of American history.
In Hanging Judge, Justin Moffitt is eager to help keep the
peace as a deputy marshal in small-town Texas. That is,
until Justin is assigned to the wrong marshal-a "hanging
judge" who is as famous for his ruthlessness as he is for
his commitment to justice. When Justin's boss hangs a
controversial criminal, Justin must defend himself against
an army of friends and relatives, desperate for revenge.
