Marshal Ben Tully arrives in Pine City to find a double tragedy waiting for him: a lynch mob has taken a suspected murderer out of Tully's jail and hanged him—and the murder victim is Tully's wife!
Even though he's almost overwhelmed with grief, Tully's instincts as a lawman take over when he uncovers evidence that the man who was lynched may not be the one who killed his wife. It seems that nearly everyone in Pine City has secrets they don't want exposed, and the identity of Kate Tully's murderer is one of them. Ben Tully's investigation plunges him into a web of deceit, lust, and more murder as he risks his life to discover the truth about his wife's death!
In LYNCHED, master storyteller Ed Gorman has written another compelling Western mystery full of action and suspense.
(This is one of Ed's best Westerns, and a top-notch mystery to boot. If you've never read any of his Westerns, grab this one and give it a try!)

You can never go wrong with Ed Gorman.
Some years back I was lucky enough to get a box of signed books from Ed, and this was among them. Whenever I read an Ed Gorman book I jump for joy and seethe with envy all at the same time. He is not only a top notch writer, but also a friend to newbies or old timers who need long-overdue recognition.
Ed's one heck of a western writer. His Leo Guild character is one of my favorites, but LYNCHED has a special place in my heart because Ed dedicated it to me.
