Wild justice
Estleman, Loren D.
Genre:
In the spring of 1896
after thirty years spent dispensing justice in the territory of Montana
Judge Harlan Blackthorne expires
leaving Deputy U.S. Marshal Page Murdock
his most steadfast officer
to escort his remains across the continent by rail. The long journey--interrupted from time to time by station stops for the public to pay its respects and for various marching bands to serenade the departed with his favorite ballad
"After the Ball"--gives Murdock plenty of opportunity to reflect upon the years of triumphs and tragedies he's seen first hand
always in the interest of bringing justice to a wilderness he
his fellow deputies
and the Judge played so important a role in its settlement.
