About the Book

The Sheriff, opens with an aging Sheriff Donovan coming to terms with his recent diagnosis of terminal cancer. Desperate to maintain his tenuous grasp on Three Chop, the town he willed into existence, Donovan enters into a bargain with a faction of rural Christian Prohibitionists, agreeing to shutter the local saloon and brothel. But his plan to cement his legacy in the eyes of God soon meets resistance from the town’s business elite, whose livelihoods depend on liquor sales. With a band of notorious outlaws descending on Three Chop, the dispute ignites into a furious battle that forces residents to take sides, to choose between the town’s past and future.

Review :
I think that THE SHERIFF by Robert Dwyer and Austin Wright has a chance to be judged one of those rare modern Western fiction classics. The authors somehow manage to be both traditional and surprising on every page. ... The town of Three Chop, grizzled Sheriff John Donovan, assorted outlaws radiating real menace, women just as desperate and cunning as any of the menfolk--there's damned fine storytelling here.--Jeff Guinn, New York Times bestselling author of Manson: The Life and Times of Charles Manson and The Last Gunfight: The Real Story of the Shootout at the O.K. Corral--And How It Changed the American West This end-of-the-West story has a lot to say--about everything from religion to mortality to progress to big business, and it does it without sacrificing action, pacing or authenticity. It's so easy to recommend this book, it's a big story about some big issues--leading to the big showdown.--Toby Roan, author of the "50 Westerns from the 50s" blog THE SHERIFF is the debut novel from authors Robert Dwyer and Austin Wright, and a strong debut it is. There are definite echoes of the traditional Western here but a more literary sensibility to the writing and plotting. It's a bleak but impressive yarn and well worth reading if you're looking for a Western that's a bit offbeat while retaining a fondness for what's gone before.--James Reasoner, New York Times bestselling author
