Trackdown — James Reasoner

Marshal Bill Harvey puts his life at risk every day to protect the people of Redemption, Kansas. But there's only one resident whose well-being comes before all else, and if you touch her, you're as good as dead in his books...

Bill Harvey thought he had his hands full with the hotheaded Jesse Overstreet, a Texan like himself, who'd stumbled into town. But Overstreet is the least of his problems when Caleb Tatum and his gang sweep through town, cleaning folks out of every last penny. As a bonus, they make off with a beautiful hostage, Eden Harvey, Bill's wife...

While Bill and his posse ride hard through Kansas to save Eden and the old buzzard Mordecai is left alone to police the town, a broken marriage turns violent and a suspicious gypsy spooks the townspeople. Mordecai desperately needs Bill to return. And he might just get his wish when the posse finds unexpected help from that fiery Texan, Overstreet. Bill will surely get back his beloved, at any cost...
