Cody’s Law by James Reasoner is a twelve-book western fiction series that ran from 1991 to 1995. It opens with Gunmetal Justice and moves quickly through a run of entries published that same year — Die Lonesome and Border Showdown both followed before 1991 was out, setting a pace that continued through 1992 with four more books including Bounty Man and Renegade Trail.
The middle of the series brings titles like Eagle Pass, The Prisoners, and A Gallows Waiting, all appearing in 1993. The final two entries, Red Moon’s Raid (1994) and Commanche Code (1995), close out the run. Readers who want the full story should start with Gunmetal Justice and read through in order, as the twelve books build on each other across the five-year span.
