Nine rousing, noir Western tales with a hardboiled edge are collected in this third volume of short stories, Further Adventures of Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles. Their story begins once again in the 1880s Wyoming Territory, then thunders through to 1930s New Orleans. The two Deputy U.S. Marshals continue to find themselves on the outside of societal norms. Cash Laramie is known as The Outlaw Marshal for his unorthodox conduct toward criminals and his cavalier approach to life. Gideon Miles, one of the first African Americans in the marshal service, is honorable, fearless, and unrivaled in his skills with guns, knives, and tracking. These independent, resourceful lawmen develop a bond, establishing a formidable defense in a wayward land where good and wicked are often hard to distinguish and life is as cheap as a two-bit game of poker.
