[Hayden Tilden 01] • Lawdog · the Life and Times of Hayden Tilden

Fans of gritty westerns will love this action-packed novel by J. Lee Butts!

Legendary as the meanest, most fearless lawdog of the Old West, Hayden Tilden sometimes blurs the line between U.S. Marshal and hired assassin. His adventures all began with one murderous, cold-blooded bastard: Saginaw Bob Magruder.

The depraved killer butchered Tilden’s entire family and hurled the young man into a ruthless, bloody crusade for vengeance and a career as a U. S. Marshal. Tracking down Magruder will be just the beginning of Tilden’s adventures, bringing his own brand of justice to the wild and lawless West.

“ Lawdog has it all. I couldn’t put it down.” —Jack Ballas, author of A Town Afraid

“ Lawdog should assume its rightful place beside other Western classics.” —Peter Brandvold, bestselling author of Once Hell Freezes Over
