"When you put on that badge, remember this. Every country has its medieval times. Murders, rapes, robberies, crime, war, slavery and horrors. When you put on that badge, you take all this on. These are America's medieval times..." - Police Chief Gustav Henri, Paris Texas, 1888 A young, Johann Gunther, fresh out of the US Army, stared at the badge on the Chief's desk, pondering this warning and still pinned on the badge. He joined a small police force in northeast Texas in one of the rowdiest and dangerous regions and times in the Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas borders. Gunther learns both the diplomatic and deadly ways of a lawman from an odd, six-foot-nine-inch, teenage deputy named Stinky Moses. And he learns the ways of a detective from the former Paris, France detective and former Devil's Island warden who retired to Texas, the colorful and robust, Gustav Henri. The next 6 years are chronicled in this book! He fights all those "medieval" outlaws, in several wild west adventures, chases the Dalton Gang in a daring ambush, meets Bill Tilgman and Bass Reeves, and even solves a series of serial murders involving the KKK and a mysterious doctor from England. To escape the revenge of these remaining, at-large killers, two governors send him to West Point and back into the Army. Time passes and his adventures are covered in other Wolfpack Published books. Gunther emerges as an officer with battles in Cuba, the Philippines, India, Afghanistan and China, then back to Texas to open his Remedies Detective Agency (get these adventures in other Gunther titles.) And we return to this book 19 years later! Now it's 1916, the gaunt, giant Stinky Moses, now a Federal Marshal in West Texas, shows up at Gunther's, Remedies office in Fort Worth. He needs desperate help. Their old, now retired police Chief Gustav Henri is in fatal trouble back in Paris, Texas. A gang of eight, French-Indo-China killers are in route to murder Henri in a blood feud, revenge vendetta from the Chief's former days in France and Devil's Island. The new law regime in Paris, Texas is corrupt, uncooperative and incorrigible. Can Gunther, Stinky and Henri stop these vicious, foreign gangsters that are willing to die for their Triad, criminal family honor?
