, ,  The Cavalry Man series is a combination crime/western, the
type of stuff Mr. Gorman does so well. I was quite pleased with
these three novels. Noah Ford is an investigator for the Federal
government specializing in weapons and explosives. Though
southern, he fought for the North during the war. He’s been on
the outs with his family ever since.   It’s 1881 and Ford is out
to find and arrest his brother, an arms dealer and former spy
for the South, who he hasn’t seen for years. The man who’d made
an improvement on the Gatling gun has been murdered and his
invention taken.  Ford knows his brother has it now and plans to
sell it to the highest bidder. As he’s moving in on the barn
where his brother is hiding, the gun opens up, killing the two
deputies with him, and wounding him.  When he regains
consciousness, Ford learns that his brother was found in the
barn, his throat cut. So who shot the weapon at them? Where’s
the gun? Four suspects, arms dealers in town to bid on the gun.
Which one?  Then someone star
