When West meets East

Eastern cop Sean O'Reily takes a leave of absence from his duties in New York to pursue the killer of his foster father into Oklahoma Territory. Thus begins one of the most entertaining stories of what happens when eastern dudes go west. Sean is accompanied by his service-issue revolver and his oaken, lead-filled nightstick. Blair's description of Sean's skill with this stick in a bar fight ranks with the best of any western author's writing. As the villain, Denton Ludlow is despicable. Then Sean meets the singer Nancy Penner, hired by Ludlow to bring a little class to his saloon, and knows her father died with his own and at Ludlow's hands. The rest of the book is about trying to get the evidence to prove Ludlow's guilt so that he can be extradited to New York to stand trial. Along the way, we are introduced to Chris Madsen and other well-known well-known frontier lawmen. This is a rousing tale and well worth your locating a copy for your own.
