Robertb re-reads a lot

Dear all:

I read this book called "The Marshall" when it was released about 20 years ago. Then it got lost when I moved. It took me twelve years to find another copy and I read slow and savor every word every time. The Marshall is not a true western at all. It takes place in modern times: "He hears the victim's crys and he is there. The black powder, gun-toting image of Wyatt Earp. But Wyatt Earp is long dead, isn't he?"

I admit to having spent five years studying every facet of Tombstone and the OK Corral and what happened that famous day. I even learned how to play "Faroh" to better feel the times. This book by Denis St. Pierre likely sold 100 copies total... but I love the plot: a modern detective tracking down a "vigilante" who uncovers the impossible.

So, I re-read The Marshall every Summer and look forward to it all year. That book I read so slowly and enjoy it.
