Description
A respected schoolteacher is brutally stabbed.
Sheriff Go-Ahead Rider has no shortage of suspects, but none with a strong enough motive to kill a man …
Christopher Lang left his Yankee homeland to teach the classics in Tahlequah, capital city of the Cherokee Nation.
His class was a success, he'd become fast friends with deputy sheriff and fellow scholar George Tanner, and he was courting beautiful Hannah Girty, a young Cherokee woman.
Why would anyone want Lang dead?
Though Lang was a white man and the U.S. marshal is in charge of the investigation, Sheriff Rider and Deputy Tanner are requested to do the legwork.
There are three immediate suspects — schoolboy Coley Fletcher, surly suitor Willit Barnes, and railroad executive Forbes Winters — but Rider's intuition tells him not to move too quickly.
After more killings and a jailbreak, Rider finds he is no closer to finding the schoolteacher’s killer.
Will Rider have to step outside the law to solve this crime...?
Set in the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma in 1873, Robert J. Conley’s classic writing style brings the Old West back to life in ‘Outside the Law’.
