Murphy’s Law

In a land where the strong prey on the weak, Cullen Murphy is a law unto himself . . .

Johnstone Country. Where the Brave and the Bold Serve Justice.

Orphaned as a child, Cullen Murphy drifted from one unforgiving frontier town to the next across West Texas. A hired hand at saloons and ranches, he was aimless until he met a drover who taught him to drive cattle, and inspired him to build a spread of his own on the San Saba River just outside of the small Texas Hill Country community of Newtown.

Then the war came and Cullen spent four years wearing Confederate gray, earning the rank of sergeant. Caught up in the viciousness and bloodshed from both sides, he became a hardened soldier-and a merciless killer. He fought in hard-won campaigns, gaining honor, only to become embittered by defeat. With the country in ruins and no family awaiting him, Cullen returned to Texas to find his home pillaged and his fields overrun by weeds-and Newtown under siege.

With no marshal or sheriff to keep the peace, outlaws have taken over the town, harrassing citizens and threatening merchants with no fear of retribution. But when these gamblers and gunmen target Cullen Murphy, they incur the wrath of a man who doesn't need a badge to enforce his law. . . .
