Outlaws―fueled by cruelty they became addicted to during the War Between the States―roam and prey upon anyone unfortunate enough to cross their trail. In the Dakota Territory of the 1870s, the line between outlaw and lawman is often blurred. Some of those sworn to protect the helpless might exploit them instead. And some of those deemed hard cases might redeem themselves. Backed to the Wall plunges both a lawman and an outlaw into a blood battle that only one of them can survive―if the Indian raiders terrorizing homesteaders and cattlemen don’t kill them first.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR BACKED TO THE WALL
“It’s not very often that you get the perfect marriage of author and book, but that’s what you get with Backed To The Wall. Having always been a fan of Curt Wendelboe’s Spirit Road Mysteries, I’d often wondered how he’d do at a straight ahead shoot-em-up Western and the jury is in: Backed To The Wall will have you backed up and demanding more.”
― Craig Johnson, New York Times bestselling author of the Walt Longmire Mysteries that inspired the hit A&E and Netflix TV series Longmire
CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR WENDELBOE’S SPIRIT ROAD MYSTERIES
“Wendelboe’s years in law enforcement lend verisimilitude to his writing, and the banter between characters adds humor.”― Publishers Weekly
“The pacing of the novel. . . is distinctly native, something I haven't read since the departure of the old master, Tony Hillerman.”― Craig Johnson, New York Times bestselling author
“An exciting and quirky mystery that seamlessly shifts between past and present, offering a number of finely delineated characters and a strong sense of life on the reservation and the beauties of a hostile land.”
― Kirkus, Starred Review
“Wendelboe paints a vivid portrait of life on the reservation and deftly mixes history with a satisfying mystery in this series debut.”―Kirkus
“Storytelling at its best.”― Margaret Coel, New York Times bestselling author of Winter’s Child
“Absorbing.”―Publishers Weekly
C. M. Wendelboe entered the law enforcement profession when he was discharged from the Marines as the Vietnam war was winding down. In the 1970s he worked in South Dakota. He moved to Gillette, Wyoming, and found his niche, where he remained a sheriff's deputy for over twenty-five years. In addition, he was a longtime firearms instructor at the local college and within the community. During his thirty-eight-year career in law enforcement he had served successful stints as police chief, policy adviser, and other supervisory roles for several agencies. Yet he always has felt most proud of "working the street" in the Wild West. He was a patrol supervisor when he retired to pursue his true vocation as a fiction writer. C. M. Wendelboe now lives and writes in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
