BROTHER SHERIFF â€" BROTHER OUTLAW
Three disasters hit the mountain town of Aztec at the same time:
A blizzard had completely blocked the passes and cut the town off from all help.
Curt Warren, the prospector the town had been grubstaking, was found bushwhacked while returning with big news.
And a notorious outlaw and killer had been trapped in town by the big snow.
It all added up to the biggest crisis of his career to Sheriff Morgan, especially since the outlaw â€" and suspected bushwhacker â€" was Morgan's own no-good brother!
The author of more than seventy books, Brian Garfield is one of USA's most prolific writes of thrillers, westerns and other genre fiction. Raised in Arizona, Garfield found success at an early age, publishing his first novel when he was only eighteen â€" which, at the time, made him one of the youngest writers of Western novels in print.
A former ranch-hand, he is a student of Western and Southwestern history, an expert on guns, and a sports car enthusiast. After time in the Army, a few years touring with a jazz band, and a Master's Degree from the University of Arizona, he settled into writing full time.
Garfield is a past president of the Mystery Writers of America and the Western Writers of America, and the only author to have held both offices. Nineteen of his novels have been made into films, including Death Wish (1972), The Last Hard Men (1976) and Hopscotch (1975), for which he wrote the screenplay.
To date, his novels have sold over twenty million copies worldwide. Brian Garfield died on December 29 2018. He and his wife lived in California.
