Wyatt Earp, Frontier Marshal #52

When Wyatt Earp takes the marshal's job in Holtsville, he quickly discovers the town is run by criminals who've posted a bounty on his head—and that two seemingly friendly locals, Barney Ferris and Dink Nolan, may not be what they seem. As Earp investigates the web of rustling, gambling, and corruption, he'll have to stay sharp to figure out who's really pulling the strings before the trap closes around him.

Wyatt Earp's leisurely cross-country ride takes an unexpected turn when a lame horse forces him to seek shelter at a seemingly ordinary ranch—one run by the mild-mannered Oliver Stitts but increasingly controlled by the ruthless foreman Vic Henty and his crooked partner Herbie Moore, who's been fleecing the ranch hands at poker. When Earp discovers the scam and takes matters into his own hands, he uncovers a scheme that goes far deeper than a rigged card game, and finds himself pitted against a man determined to seize the entire operation by force.

When three corrupt gamblers set their sights on the young heir to the Wycross ranch in a rigged poker game, they're counting on easy money—but Harold Wycross has learned more than they bargained for. With Wyatt Earp watching from the sidelines, the real test of the boy's nerve and training unfolds around the card table in "The Fatal Game."

When a bank robbery leaves Wyatt Earp wrongly accused—thanks to an overeager deputy's dog—the frontier marshal finds himself locked up while the real thief remains at large. Working with Mr. Clarke, Earp hatches a bold plan: stage a jailbreak to flush out the guilty party and catch them red-handed. It's a dangerous gambit that hinges on outsmarting a criminal who thinks he's already won.
