STREETS OF LAREDO: Thirty-First in a Series of Jess Williams Westerns (A Jess Williams Western Book 31)
Jess travels to Laredo on the hunt for another wanted man, but when he arrives, he finds himself becoming reluctantly involved in another dispute between two cattle barons. He tries not to get involved, but he eventually finds himself forced to take a side.
The richest cattle baron, Harvey Landry, seems to have money to throw around and he begins to buy up many of the businesses in Laredo, along with buying the services of the town’s Mayor and four councilmen along with the Sheriff.
When Jess returns with the dead body of the man he had been hunting down, he receives a cold shoulder from the Sheriff and the town’s elected officials.
Harvey Landry makes the mistake of pushing Jess a little too hard, and Jess decides that Landry is the real problem and he becomes a thorn in Landry’s side. Landry keeps throwing hired guns after Jess, but he keeps killing them, forcing Landry to hire two of the best guns in the business.
Jess accidentally discovers something odd about all the money Landry has been throwing around and he makes contact with United States Marshal Frank Reedy. When Reedy answers, Jess discovers that Landry isn’t who he seems to be and before it’s over, a lot of blood is spilled on the streets of Laredo and Landry’s secret is finally uncovered.
