The Montana Vigilantes, celebrated for more than 140 years as heroes of the Old West, are remembered as the courageous men of action who took the law into their own hands to protect honest citizens from a murderous gang of thieves led by Henry Plummer, a devious criminal mastermind masquerading as sheriff. But what if the legend of the Montana Vigilantes is a lie, conceived and perpetuated by the vigilantes themselves to cover their own heinous crimes? In his vividly written debut novel, Kevin Emmet Foley transports readers to a forgotten corner of the American frontier at the height of the Civil War. Set against the backdrop of the majestic and foreboding Montana Rockies, the untamed gold mining towns of Bannack and Virginia City are the settings for a deadly clash of wills between the duly elected Sheriff Plummer and the self-appointed vigilantes, bent on dealing out summary justice. Caught in the middle is Noah Coffey, a young New York newspaperman and Plummer's best friend, who must find the courage to confront a savage evil. Where Law Ends grips the reader like a noose. Violence and revenge contend with forgiveness and redemption, sweeping the reader along on an unforgettable ride toward a heart-pounding conclusion.
