Ralph Compton Blood on the Gallows (Thorndike Large Print Western Series) - Hardcover
Former big-city detective John McBride is an easygoing man -- until people rub him the wrong way. So he's less than pleased when he sees three hanged men outside the town of Rest and Be Thankful, and the local lawman warns him to behave if he doesn't want to end up swinging right beside them. Driven by the plight of the terrified citizenry McBride vows to take on the fast-gun marshal, an evil mayor and his cruel son, and a small army of hired gunmen.
