Gunsmoke Express — Gillian F. Taylor

Thanks to a tip-off, Sheriff Alec Lawson and his deputies fight and capture the notorious outlaw Saul York. But the trouble doesn't end there. Alec falls desperately ill and when he recovers, he finds that York's lawyer has got him out on bail. Although still weakened by his illness, Alec is determined to get back to work. He soon finds himself in the action again, but fatigue leads to a terrible mistake and he begins to doubt his abilities. Will his frailty endanger his friends? York is still out there somewhere, protected by his ambitious lawyer. When York becomes his prime suspect in a murderous robbery, Alec Lawson must push himself to close the net on the elusive outlaw. He'll have to face down a lynch mob, the killer outlaw and his own doubts to get the job done, whatever the cost to himself.
