Publisher's Synopsis
J.D. Miller, aka The Lawyer, continues to hunt the men that slaughtered his family. His next target is Jules Despare who's been riding with the Selkirk gang robbing banks. When the town of Emmett, Texas, is marked by the hardcases and the local marshal murdered, The Lawyer is asked by the town's influential residents to track down the reprehensible outfit. But he has little use for the narrow-minded bigots that won't stand behind the remaining deputy-a black man named Ernest Tell. After Tell resigns, he suggests a partnership with The Lawyer who refuses. It's obvious, though, these two avengers are gunning for the same men and will eventually work together to settle old scores in THE RETRIBUTIONERS. Best-selling, Western hardboiled author Wayne D. Dundee (The Empty Badge, The Guns of Vedauwoo) pens his second Lawyer book that is based on characters created by Edward A. Grainger, author of the Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles series.
