Hell Hole — Ken Farmer

Bass Reeves is back! If you're a fan of L'Amour, Kelton, Burroughs and Grey, you'll love HELL HOLE - the third novel in the best selling and award winning Bass Reeves saga in The Nations. US Deputy Marshals, under Judge Issac Parker, The Hanging Judge, patrol the Indian Nations -- the most dangerous place in the world in the late 19th century. Bass Reeves and his partner, Jack McGann, are tasked to bring in the Griffin gang and clean out the cesspool of outlaws at a town known as Catoosa, the Hell Hole. Judge Parker wants "that bunch of societal paragons of miscreants and malefactors that are gathered there eliminated" and doesn't care how Bass and his men do it. "Some call me one thing and some call me another…But mostly they call me Bass Reeves and this just ain't yer day, son." They team up with Jack's godson, Texas Ranger Bodie Hickman and track the Griffin gang across half of Oklahoma Territory -- recovering two kidnapped young ladies -- and then back into the Hell Hole with their orders of "Bring them in alive…or bring them in dead."
