Only about a month now until 26 March and the release of LOGAN'S LADY! Advance readers are loving this book, and I hope you do, too! While we wait, here's another excerpt from the book, and a reminder of my upcoming contest!Thump!
Sheriff
Jack Teller awoke with a start when cold air rushed over him from an open door
and something heavy hit the floor of his office. His first reaction was to
reach for his gun.
“Leave
it!” a deep voice told him. “It’s just me.” The intruder
slammed the door shut. “Jesus, Teller, somebody could have come in here
and helped a prisoner escape and you would have slept right through it.”
Teller looked
up at the tall man with long, sandy-colored hair that stuck out from under a
wide-brimmed hat. His sheepskin jacket made his six-foot frame and broad
shoulders appear even larger. And he was in bad need of a shave. It took a
minute for Teller to realize who it was. “Logan?”
“I
brought Sol Weber to you.”
Teller turned
to look beyond the end of his desk to see a man lying on the floor, still
wearing a wool jacket, his frozen eyes staring up at the ceiling. An ugly hole
in his forehead made Teller shake his head as he looked at Logan Best. “Is
it possible that someday you’ll bring one of these men back
alive?”
Logan
shrugged. “If the poster says dead or alive, I might as well keep things
safe and kill him. Then I don’t have to worry about feeding him and
staying awake half the night watching him so he doesn’t try to put a
bullet in me and escape.” He glanced at the dead body of Sol Weber.
“Besides, when he robbed that bank in Sheridan, he killed two kids as he
was trying to get away. He doesn’t deserve to live.”
“Says a
judge and jury, in most cases,” Sheriff Teller answered. He hoisted his
too-heavy body out of his chair with a grunt. “Need I remind you yet again
that your only job is to get wanted men back here? Let the right people decide
if they should live or die.”
Logan took a
thin cigar from his pocket, then struck a match and lit it. “Why bother,
with a man like that?”
