Introducing Lance Logan who has built up a reputation as Mr. Justice. But only three or four people know the true identity of Mr. Justice. When he hears of murder in the west, where the common man can't get justice for himself, he brings the bad guys in. The first book finds him defending a county sheriff he has worked with who has been convicted of back shooting and killing a man. Lance goes to the town and finds a lying eye witness, gets the sheriff cleared, then goes on three separate man hunts to bring the killers to justice. It’s a long hunt and he gets it done without revealing who he is. Then he hurries home to set the date for his wedding with his long time lady friend. He lives near Bend, Kansas on the Black Horse Ranch where he runs about 150 brood cows as he waits for his next challenge for Mr. Justice. This is a continuing series of Western adventures. He hears about some injustice in the West and goes to that area to battle the bad guys to bring justice to the common man who can't fight for it himself. This book finds Mr. Justice defending a north county sheriff who is falsely accused of back shooting and killing a man. Lance goes to the town, finds an eye witness to the actual killing, gets the sheriff released, then goes on a three man hunting trip to bring the real killers to justice. It's a long and dangerous trip and his life and that of the accused killers hang in the balance when he blunders into a war between two feuding families. We don't know if he will survive, let alone get back to the county jail with his prisoner
