    175+ FIVE-STAR REVIEWS. COMANCHE SUNSET collects the first three books of the THE LAW WRANGLERS as an opening trilogy to the popular Western series. DEAL WITH THE DEVIL - The Law Wranglers Book 1After several long years of trying to put the past behind him, Josh Rivers finds himself intertwined in a case that has him leaving the comforts of his life in Santa Fe for the desolation of the Staked Plains. In his quest to find a young woman abducted by the Comanche, Josh must confront the horrors of his past, as well as pull off the diplomatic high-wire act of negotiating with the Comanche and their great war chief, Quanah Parker. MOUTH OF HELL - The Law Wranglers Book 2As tensions continue to escalate between the U. S. Army and the Comanche, members of the Rivers family find themselves involved on multiple fronts of the “Red River War.” Josh Rivers discovers his efforts to covertly negotiate on behalf of his newest client have been exposed, and now he finds himself looking over his shoulder, even in the relative safety of Santa Fe. Meanwhile, his journalist sister, Tabitha, is embedded with Colonel Ranald “Bad Hand” Mackenzie’s forces on the eve of battle. What begins as a ploy to sell more newspapers, quickly spirals into a series of life-changing events as the opposing sides converge in the Texas Panhandle. THE LAST HUNT - The Law Wranglers Book 3Set amidst the last days of the Comanche wars, The Last Hunt continues the story of the Rivers family, whose fates are intertwined with the Comanche—and their great war chief, Quanah Parker—both personally and professionally. The decisions Quanah makes as the conflict nears its end will have a far-reaching effect beyond his Comanche nation, and the long-brewing showdown for Josh to reclaim his kidnapped son reaches its conclusion.From the AuthorThe Law Wranglers novels comprise the author's best-selling series. Some series books are independent novels that can be easily read out of order. Others may be confusing without the back story from the previous novel. This series is a bit of a mix.The first three books of the Law Wranglers series (Deal with the Devil, Mouth of Hell, and The Last Hunt) constitute a trilogy, and the author recommends sequential reading. For that reason, the publisher also packaged the books as a boxed set under the Comanche Sunset umbrella.New readers should have no difficulty reading subsequent books as stand-alone novels, and, of course, it is hoped enjoyment of the experience will coax the reader to experience the entire series, which the writer plans to continue indefinitely.The Law Wranglers (in order of publication):Deal with the Devil (2016)Mouth of Hell (2016)The Last Hunt (2017)Summer's Child (2017)Peyote Spirits: A Novella (2018)Comanche Sunset: Books 1 - 3 (2018)
