Shannon's Law — Charles E. Friend

THE LAW OF THE LAND
Clay Shannon is a straight-shooting, tough-talking deputy sheriff who's been charged with bringing order to rough-and-tumble Whiskey Creek, a mining town where robbery and murder run rampant. But with one lawman already killed, Shannon's job won't be easy. A crooked saloon owner and his hired gun have the townspeople so spooked it's almost impossible to gather any evidence against them. And tracking down clues is even harder while dodging bullets. If justice is to be served, Shannon must make a choice: stay within the law--or make his own.
