Tabor Evans is the author of the long-running Longarm western series, featuring the adventures of Deputy U.S. Marshal Custis Long.

Longarm's in for the fight of his life… In his years as a lawman, Longarm's been pistol-whipped, punched-out, trampled, and shot more times than he can count-but his latest hangover may be the worst he's ever felt. Until he runs afoul of Anton Gardner… Since he's come to Fort Marion to extradite the prisoner Gardner-who robbed a military payroll and killed seven men-Longarm's been attacked by cops with clubs, taken a blow to the head from Gardner's lovely red-haired accomplice, been shot in the ribs, and tossed in jail. And the hardest blow of all: Gardner's escaped with his badge and is impersonating the lawman. One thing's for sure…Longarm is not down for the count.
