Last Hanging at Paradise Meadow

Only Stuart Brannon can overthrow the tyrannical mayor of an isolated western town. But will he be too late? Stuart Brannon rides again--this time into the booming mining supply town of Paradise Meadow, and into conflict with Dixon Rutherford, its self-appointed mayor. Rutherford has tyrannized the entire town--jailing Brannon's friend Peter Mulroney for a murder he did not commit, running down and killing Mulroney's wife for standing up to him, and now trying to drive Cherokee schoolteacher Rose Creek out of town. But finding courage to stand up to a corrupt politician is only a first step. Now the town faces another kind of struggle. Can a violent, lawless collection of citizens avoid mob rule and choose to govern themselves in an orderly way? Written in the tradition of Zane Grey, Luke Short, and Louis L'Amour, Last Hanging at Paradise Meadow recreates the tumultuous old West where good battles evil.
