FAME AND FORTUNE IN THE WILD WEST ARE WHAT LOMAX SEEKS... BUT POOR DECISIONS AND A TOUCH OF BAD LUCK ALWAYS STAND IN THE WAY. Accused of cheating at cards on a Southern Pacific passenger train in far West Texas, H.H. Lomax is kicked off the train and finds himself at the mercy of the unpredictable justice of Judge Roy Bean, who calls himself "Law West of the Pecos." After being fined of all his money, married, and divorced by the judge in a matter of minutes, Lomax discovers an unlikely connection to him. Against a backdrop of a pending world heavyweight championship bout, Lomax heads to El Paso to interest someone in writing and publishing Bean's biography. He winds up in an El Paso boarding house across the hall from Texas killer John Wesley Hardin. They despise each other, but Hardin fears Lomax's straight-arrow Texas Ranger brother and treads lightly around Lomax. Because of Hardin's crooked connections in El Paso, Lomax gets caught between him and corrupt constable John Selman. El Paso is becoming the focal point of efforts to host a championship prizefight that everyone from the Presidents of the United States and Mexico to the governors of Texas, New Mexico Territory and Chihuahua have vowed to stop. Calling on his connections to his Ranger brother, Andy, El Paso officials and the promoter of the boxing match, Lomax uses his Judge Roy Bean friendship to pull off the oddest prizefight in heavyweight history. Outlaw West of the Pecos stands as an entertaining mix of historical and hysterical fiction.
