Maverick Marshal #3

A marshal infiltrates the fortress hideout of outlaw boss Leo Naves, where stolen loot has gone missing—and uses nothing but words and cunning to turn the gang against their leader from within. It's a tense game of wits inside an impenetrable stronghold where guns won't work, but exposure of a criminal mastermind's betrayal just might.

A troublemaker named Coke Weston wrecks Fuller's Cafe in the Maverick Marshal's town, but when Stone learns Weston's been hunted relentlessly just for his tough reputation, he sees potential instead of just destruction. When one of Weston's old enemies shows up looking for blood, the marshal and the drifter find themselves fighting side by side—and Stone makes Weston an offer that might finally give the hard case a place to call home.

A fugitive named Landon is hunted by four ruthless men who want the twelve-thousand-dollar bounty on his head—but Maverick Marshal Mark Stone intercepts him first, sensing something isn't right about the charges. Stone decides to protect Landon from his pursuers long enough to uncover the truth, leading both men into a tense standoff at an abandoned shack where Stone's knowledge of the land becomes their only advantage. What begins as a manhunt transforms into something far more dangerous when Stone realizes the real criminals are closing in.

A newly hired marshal arrives in Plains City to clean up the town, only to discover his employer Lee Rigler is using the reform effort as cover for his own criminal schemes. As Stone works to arrest the gambling boss Shansky and his gang with warrants Rigler provided, he realizes the real target has been Rigler himself all along. When the final confrontation comes, Stone learns that honest law enforcement means taking on corruption wherever it hides—even from those who claim to want reform.
