Richard F. Selcer and Kevin S. Foster tell the stories of thirteen of those early lawmen, starting with Tarrant County Sheriff John B. York in 1861 and going through Fort Worth Police Officer William Ad Campbell in 1909. York died in a street fight; Campbell was shot-gunned in the back while walking his beat in Hells Half-Acre. This is also the story of law enforcement in the days when an assortment of policemen and marshals, sheriffs and deputies, and special officers and constables held the line and sometimes crossed over it.
A staid politician and a free-spirited widow team up to take on a mystery in this Regency romance adventure. Sir Neville Fortescue MP comes from a long line of rakes and hell-raisers—and he’s determined to live a decent life. He certainly doesn’t associate with women like the notoriously unconventional Diana, Duchess of Medbourne. But when Neville and Diana are forced together to help a servant girl, they plunge into a shady world of brothels, plots, and murder. Neville realizes that he has underestimated the beautiful young widow—and his own love of danger and adventure. Could staid Sir Neville be a fit match for the Daring Duchess?
