Marshal of Sundown, first published in 1937, is a classic tale of the Old West by Jackson Gregory (1882-1943), author of more than 40 western and detective novels. From the dust-jacket: The least likely candidate for marshal of Sundown was Jim Torrance ... a man wanted throughout the Southwest for every crime from bank robbing to murder. And Sundown already had a marshal ... tough Rufe Biggs, owned body and soul by the man responsible for all the crimes Jim Torrance was charged with. But Torrance knew he had to wear the badge if he was to clear his name. And if his luck and his .44s held out, Torrance would do it.
