Blood on the Badge: Arizona: Land of the Lawless Steven E. Farley

They were four on the prod, united by their disrespect for the Law and, in two cases, by ties of blood. But Greg Farley was not for killing if it could be avoided; would not even defend his own brother's shooting of U. S. Marshal Glenn Fuller who was pursuing them, because of their unsuccessful attempt at a bank hold up at Sedona. Still, that didn't exactly make Greg a pillar of society, or prepare him to put on a Sheriff's badge himself, as he was asked to do in 1883 by the citizens of Chino Wells, Arizona. In order to foil the next raid planned by his pards, he had to pretend he was wearing a badge only to get inside information, then spirit his wounded brother away from his owlhoot companions. After that, in town, he had to ally the suspicions of the citizens by pretending he didn't even know who his brother was.
