And the line between outlaw and lawman is often blurred. Some of those sworn to protect the helpless might exploit them instead. Some of those deemed hard cases might yet redeem themselves.

Review Quotes

"It's not very often that you get the perfect marriage of author and book, but that's what you get with Backed to the Wall. Having always been a fan of Curt Wendelboe's Spirit Road Mysteries, I'd often wondered how he'd do at a straight-ahead shoot-'em-up Western and the jury is in: Backed to the Wall will have you backed up and demanding more."

-Craig Johnson, New York Times bestselling author of the Walt Longmire Mysteries that inspired the hit A&E and Netflix TV series Longmire

"Wendelboe has woven a tale of action, intrigue... readers who like adventure will enjoy a few hours of escapism."
