He was a tough enforcer for a New York gang. But when young Tom Shanaghy made one too many enemies, he skipped town on a fast-moving freight. He landed in a small Kansas town that had big dreams, no name, and the need for an honest lawman. Tom figured that a knuckle-and-skull man from Five Points would be perfect for the job. He didn't know that a high-stakes cattle drive was headed his way and that leading it was a vindictive rancher bent on settling an old score, even if he had to destroy the town to do it. Tom had himself stuck in the middle of the feud before sunset on his first day in town. All he could do was hope that his years on the Bowery had left him with the smarts he needed to keep himself alive.

I love listening to L'Amour books! Erik Singer did an amazingly nag job of narrating, transitioning seamlessly from Irish accent to western drawl to high-class refined lady to New Yorker. I look forward to the next on Earth!

I'm a L'Amour fan ...

Another outstanding story that I have enjoyed again. It seems the stories get better each time around. So thankful for the Navy friend that got me hooked on my favorite author.

This is one of Louis L'Amour's books that I have listened to many times. The plot is slightly different from many of his westerns, but is one of my favorites and really showcases his love for the west. Erik Singer vibrantly brings it to life! It is his performance that brings me back time and again. I highly recommend!

A Favorite!

I struggled with the beginning of this story, to me it didn't hold my interest until halfway through.
The Narration was okay.

A wonderful book. Very well read. I didn’t expect the Irish character to be good as a L’amour hero but it works! The Irish accent is well performed. Story engaging, more developed than the usual LL story, one of the best. I hope there are more!

One of the best

What did you love best about The Iron Marshal?

It is recognizably L'Amour -- I've read and loved so many of his novels and short stories. This one is a little different story line and characters than the other westerns. Like the others, it hangs together well. This is my new favorite. An interesting mystery. The main character plausibly develops over the course of the story. Lots of action.

Slightly different tone, absolutely great
