There’s a new badge in the land of crime fiction… and it’s pinned on a man who can stand tall alongside lawmen like Raylan Givens, Walt Longmire, and Jesse Stone.
OUTSIDE THE LAW is a winner in the tradition of JUSTIFIED and WALKING TALL. There’s right and there’s wrong and the no man’s land in between. Thompson explores them all, but it’s the reader who gets the big payoff in the end.
If you’re a fan of "Justified," you're going to love "Outside the Law." Sheriff Colt Harper is an old-West gunfighter in the modern world. The action doesn’t stop.
Tough, fast-paced...Thompson’s convincing characters race toward an inevitable and explosive showdown
Pure entertainment with an edge. The guy can write!
Through the deeply flawed character of Sheriff Colt Harper, Phillip Thompson explores Larry Brown’s rough south, digging deeper and seeking a truce with the interloping outside world, and Harper’s tormented inner world as well. Thompson writes about the tendency of a good man toward violence. The need to seek redemption for the sins of the past—even if that redemption is through more violence. Maybe especially. Outside the Law is my kind of book, and Phillip Thompson’s Mississippi is a rough south indeed. One I hope he’ll revisit.
