HANGING JUDGE
For Justin Moffitt this job would be a lifesaver-if it didn't kill him first. He was sworn in as the newest deputy marshal to
"the hanging judge," Isaac Parker, who lost almost one law officer for every criminal he hanged. To make matters worse Justin was assigned to Marshal Sam Dark who had brought in Barney Tankard and seen him swing from the end of the Judge's justice rope for killing a friend in a drunken brawl.
Not a major murderer, to be sure, and it should have ended with his hanging. But Marshal Dark, and now his green deputy, had to deal with a force they never reckoned for— the whole vengeance-seeking family of Barney Tankard.”
