Hunt-U.S. Marshal Vol 40

Hunt and his men are sent on various missions and end up in a number of shootouts. This volume is filled with action, suspense, and surprising events. Harold Vance, from the Chicago Academy, is sent to Denver to replace Bob Rolling, a U.S. Deputy Marshal that was killed on a recent mission. U.S. Deputy Marshal Kelly Morrison is left to guard to prisoners and ends up in a barn during a deadly shootout when men show up to meet the two prisoners that Kelly is guarding. Judge Moore comes to Hunt and requests that Hunt and his men travel to Utah to confront and capture a gang of outlaws that murdered a long time friend and fellow judge, a court deputy, two attorneys, and a coach driver to release a condemned prisoner. The journey ends up with another wounded Deputy Marshal, and Hunt encounters another man that he tries to recruit into the Marshal Service.
