Hell Star

The Devil wears a badge…

When US marshal Link Leyland heard that his ex-partner Dan Shurmer had been killed, he rode for Prairie City to investigate.

However, Link’s hopes for a quiet investigation are shattered when he intervenes in a coach robbery, killing a man.

Despite passing himself off as a rancher, Link attracts the attention of the town’s marshal.

Things are complicated further when Link is forced to kill marshal’s deputy in self-defence.

But Marshal Pat Eke is not a man who can be trusted, nor the company he keeps.

While investigating the death of his friend and trying to stay on Eke’s good side, Link is also approached by Ann Rayner, who fears for her brother’s safety.

Could Schurmer’s murder, the robbery, the marshal and the brother all be connected?

It’s not long before more bullets start flying and bodies pile up.

Will Link meet the same fate as his partner, or will he too fall to the killer who wears a Hell Star?
