Law Man — Wayne D. Overholser

Bill Worden had been sheriff of Grant County for eleven years, yet now he was faced with the toughest twenty-four hours of his life.

He had always succeeded in keeping things quiet between the ranchers and the farmers -- but that was before he had a prisoner to hang: Ed Lake, a convicted murderer.

Now the ranchers were plotting to set Lake free, and the farmers were talking about lynching him -- and it was up to Worden to keep both sides from carrying out their plans... if he could.
