Ralph Compton Blood on the Gallows by Joseph A West
A detective uses his gun to speak for the opressed in this Ralph Compton western. Former big city detective John McBride is an easygoing man--until a cold-blooded town sheriff warns him to mind his own business, or face a lynching. Driven by his sense of justice, McBride takes on the sheriff, an evil mayor and his cruel psychotic son, and a small army of hired gunmen. Helped by a mysterious white-haired, quick-drawing preacher, McBride shoulders a task most men would flee from. But John McBride isn't most men.

The combination of Hart and Sowers provides the perfect marriage of prose and voice. Together they enable the book to transcend genre fiction and become something exceptional.
