Cash Laramie Returns! Gun Smoke Rises And Blood Spills.

In the town of Bear Pines, Mrs. Tolliver has announced she is running for the mayoral office. She’s the first woman to run as a candidate which divides the residents and sets the town into a tailspin. U.S. Marshal Cash Laramie is sent in to maintain peace and order and to protect Tolliver and her family from powerful allies of the incumbent, Mayor Nolan. In a bid to force her to quit the race, things turn ugly ... and deadly. Surrounded by killers who will stop at nothing to make sure Mrs. Tolliver is not elected, Cash wires Cheyenne for assistance, but will help arrive in time?

Praise for Amazon's Top Rated and Best Sellers Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles series:

"I confess, until I read Grainger's Cash and Miles stories, I always thought of Westerns as dusty, dated affairs. But Grainger proved me wrong. His blend of Westerns and crime fiction is pitch-perfect, bringing out the best in both genres."
-- Chris F. Holm

"Plain and simple, Edward A. Grainger's, ADVENTURES OF CASH LARAMIE AND GIDEON MILES, proves that there's not only life in the western genre, but it's kicking butt and taking names. This is one of the most entertaining Westerns of the year."
-- Larry D. Sweazy

"These aren't just great Westerns; they're great stories."
-- Steve Weddle

A 5 Bullet Review

By Kelly Abell on April 9, 2012

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

Nik Morton has a winner here. I enjoyed following U. S. Marshall Cash Laramie through this journey as he does what he can to protect a woman running for mayor against the sleezy incumbent. Full of twists and turns, this western kept me reading until the last page. There a few shockers in there, so hold on to your gun belt, it's gonna be a thrilling ride.

Kudos to Mr. Morton, for a tale well spun.

Bullets for a Ballot

By Stephanie on March 19, 2013

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

Violent--maybe too violent. Not that the 1880's were not violent. Could definitely tell the author was a male. Did like the overall characters, and plot was realistic, to a point. Wished for a more joyous ending. Would read this author again, think he has great storytelling ability. /Stephanie

typical bloody western

By Traveler46 on April 3, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

A short but entertaining book in the genre of the old west as the stories tell it. The characters are generally true to form. Women getting the vote and running for mayor. All this happening in once liberal Wyoming. Women got the right to vote there before any other state...a historical fact. Enjoyable read that has a lot of killing..some quasi-legal!

Taking Up Arms for Suffrage

By Carl Brush on May 30, 2012

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

As the curtain rises, we find ourselves in 1869 Wyoming territory (Little known fact: Wyoming was the first "state" to legalize women's suffrage. Did so when still a territory in 1869.). There's action right away. A gang of hooligans is about to burn a poor widow out of house, home and, indeed, life itself. It's a familiar dilemma in western literature, and the ensuing story line of Bullets follows a rather standard western formula with some extremely interesting modern variations. In some ways, one might take the novel as a Louis L'Amour work, and I mean that as a hearty compliment. The characters are vivid, not too complicated, the conflicts straightforward, every page full of excitement. It's a book constantly on the move, seldom pauses to take a breath. There is a lot more sex than L'Amour ever portrayed, and there is that steady drumbeat of protest against discrimination. L'Amour didn't indulge in much polemic. Still, Morton's pages share with L'Amour's the authentic feel of western adventure and the relentless, irresistible narrative drive. I don't know another author with Morton's range of time and geography. (Try his A Sudden Vengeance Waits for an exciting crime story set in contemporary England) But wherever he goes, he carries a torch for justice and a talent for pulling the reader into a compelling story.

From and by Barbara

By Leland Freeze on December 18, 2014

Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

Although I'm not new at reading westerns I am a first time reader of Nik Morton's and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed every word! Another thing I really appreciated was, I don't think I read one curse word! No matter what the book or the story is about, it doesn't make it better to have all those curse words! It takes a pretty talented writer to take a character(s) that is not of his own making, and write a wonderful story as if they were. And Nik Moreton is that author! Thank you Sir, for a wonderful story. I plan on checking out his other westerns. I highly recommend this book!

I am not a reader of this genre, but picked this one up out of curiosity. Within just a few pages, the character and plot drew me in. I recommend this to all who enjoy an entertaining and compelling read.

Enjoy reading stories with this character. Get a real sense of life from those days. Real situations that mirror current life. Looked forward to turning the page.
