Thirteen Steps From A Hang Rope
(2026)(Book 100 in the Jubal Stone: U.S. Marshal series)
A novel by Casey Nash
Casey Nash has now put U.S. Marshal Jubal Stone through his one hundredth ride. One hundred frontier hunts. One hundred hard Texas miles. One hundred times the badge outlasted the men who thought they could outrun it.
From a fourteen-year-old boy left for dead to the lawman who now owns the Waco jurisdiction and everything that crawls through it, Jubal Stone has become the most relentless marshal in modern Western fiction. Readers did not just follow him. They stayed in the saddle for a hundred books.
Now the Ludlows have ridden into his country in this latest adventure, ‘Thirteen Steps from a Hang Rope.’
Jubal sets his flint for the Ludlows: Lud, Put, Tubal, and Javan—cold-blooded, murderous brothers who’d rather kill than breathe. They may bear Old Testament names, but that’s where their commonality with the Good Book ends.
Across the Lone Star State of Texas, for years these miscreants have robbed, killed, and pilfered at will, bringing unmitigated misery to the settlers they’ve crossed. Men. Women. Children.
When the Ludlows come into Marshal Jubal Stone’s jurisdiction, they make the biggest mistake of their sorry lives.
Jubal is coming for ’em.
And he''s coming hard.
One hundred adventures in. The badge still shines. The trail still runs red. The marshal still rides.
Saddle up. The one hundredth hunt starts now.
PRAISE FOR CASEY NASH:
‘A hundred Jubal Stone books and the man still writes like he’s chasing the next outlaw out of town. Casey Nash doesn’t pad a page. He puts a badge on a good man, hands him a Colt, and lets justice ride. That’s why I’ll ride with Casey anytime.’ — J.W. Masterson, author of the PHAROAH SMITH: TEXAS RANGER series
‘Most writers run out of trail. Casey Nash just keeps laying iron. One hundred Jubal Stone adventures is not luck. It’s craft, grit, and a marshal readers will follow until the last cartridge. I’ve shared the trail with him. The man delivers.’ — Robert Hanlon, author of TIMBER: U.S. MARSHAL
‘Writing Crossfire on the Rio with Casey was like pairing two good horses and pointing them at the same fight. He knows how a lawman thinks, how a Texas town breathes, and how to keep a story moving until the last shot. A hundred books in, Jubal Stone is still standing tall. That doesn’t happen by accident.’ — Clem Mariotte, author of DAN BURTON: TEXAS RANGER
