Synopsis: JUDGMENT DAY For years Big Earl Stark rode shotgun on the Concord stagecoach, sentencing any man fool enough to test him to an early grave. But now, for the love of spritely Laura Delaney, he's secretly studying his law books at night, determined to settle down and put up his own shingle. Fate, however, deals him a cruel and tragic hand. Laura's stagecoach into Buffalo Flat-a coach Earl would have been guarding if he hadn't left that life behind-is set upon by outlaws, and Laura is savagely killed. No doubt destined for greatness in the courtroom, Earl is presently out only for revenge, and he makes some shocking and dangerous discoveries-not only about the identity of Laura's killers, but about his own nature as well. For when you act as judge, jury, and executioner, the pursuit of frontier justice can lead straight into hell. ... Across an untamed territory rides a man of peace who never runs from a fight-a sharp- witted, sharp-shooting judge bringing new hope to the innocent, swift punishment to the guilty ... law to a lawless land.
