Tyler's Law: The Deputies Book 2 - Paperback

by Chuck Buchanan (Author)

Tyler's Law is a western novel in the tradition of Louis L'Amour and the classic writers of the genre. However, rather than the usual "tall, dark and handsome" hero one often sees in the classic westers, the main character of Tyler's Law is Bowie Tyler, a short, fat fellow who doesn't look like a deputy, and that's just the way he likes it. He's had to learn to fight and shoot because it was either that or "go to tending store" and he's not the storekeeper type. Deputy Bowie Tyler is a special deputy for Judge Randolph Martin's Wyoming Territorial Court whose current assignment looked relatively straightforward at first: bring in the elusive Bob Morton. Morton has never been caught in twenty years on the wrong side of the law but his latest crime may change all that. As he follows Morton's trail, Bowie finds more and more evidence that, just as in his own case, appearances can be deceiving. The further Bowie travels, the more it seems that he may be chasing the wrong man. Before he reaches the end of this trail, Bowie finds himself in the unenviable position of having to interpret the law in ways that it may not have been meant to be interpreted. He will be writing Tyler's Law.
