The Marshal from Ocate trilogy is built on a simple but effective setup: a lawman with an outlaw past. Charlie Rankin used to ride with Black Jack Dorsette and his gang, but he left that life behind and pinned on a badge in Ocate, New Mexico Territory. When Dorsette comes back looking for blood, Rankin has to lead a posse of men who do not fully trust him against the very people he once called partners.

The three books move fast. In Rankin’s Posse, the marshal assembles his men and sets out across the open plains. Rankin’s Blood raises the stakes when Dorsette targets the marshal personally. By Rankin’s Vendetta, Rankin and his new wife Izzy are fighting for their lives when the outlaws shoot up the town. Peecher keeps the action tight and the cast small, making the trilogy a quick, satisfying read for anyone who likes their Westerns focused on personal grudges and frontier justice.
