A Promise to Keep (Quinlan's Law) - Paperback

1879 was a year of endless summer. In the wind-swept grasslands of eastern Kansas, dust storms moved more dirt than German farmers.

Quinlan Barrett called himself lucky. Unscathed from a gunfight with rustlers, he was ready to call it quits and try something new. Falling under the spell of beautiful ranch girl Consuela Pinder was a start, but then she was abducted by the madman Macrae, which uncovered a group of slavers selling women into old Mexico.

Since leaving the hills of northern Arkansas, Quinlan Barrett always wore a badge. Deputy US Marshal, in Indian Territory, railroad detective on the KATY, and then livestock inspector out of the Kansas City Stockyards. He still carried a badge, but it was deep in his pocket.

Aided by the scout Kiowa Smith, Exoduster Zeke Fontenot, and a few remnants of the old Cherokee Brigade, Quin sets out to do the one thing he was good at.

There was killing to do and promises to keep.
