Description
The Lonely Spirit is a short story collection sprawled across the Old West. As the only half-Comanche U.S. Marshal, L.S. Quinn straddles two worlds, searching for peace in both.
Quinn is one of the best Marshals, well-respected for finding criminals and bringing them to justice. His adventures pit him against criminals like Florence Finnegan, the famous brothel owner and gunslinger, and Jack Mattherson, whose attack on U.S. Senator William Quincy brings out Quinn’s desire for revenge. But Quinn isn’t always lucky: when one of his partners turns into his enemy on a lonely stretch of land, Quinn no longer knows whom to trust.
The fight between the Comanche and the United States Army is never far from Quinn’s mind, either. When the Army kills his fiancée, Quinn must rebuild his life, even as he finds himself a lasting enemy in Colonel Ranald Mackenzie, a respected Civil War veteran.
But Quinn’s journeys also bring him into contact with kindness he does not anticipate in such a wild land. To his surprise, sympathy comes in the form of Colonel Robert Graypool, whose level-headed command of the Comanche reservation at Fort Sill brings out Quinn’s respect when he least expects it. Humanity also resides in Dr. Mary Newcomb, one of the few women physicians of the day. In both of them, Quinn finds some of the community for which he searches.

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this book
several short stories or chapters really of quinn a half breed who becomes a U.S marshall, found it quite an enjoyable read, as i am not really a fan of short stories but this one i fell into
quinn at 19 left his indian family and went in search of his white father, being raised as a indian he knew how to track and those elements helped when he joined up with the marshalls in tracking down killers...
just wished each storyline had been longer as it was a very enjoyable read

It puts in perspective the white man (cornl & Veteran) who has anger and hate, and the white man who wants us all to love in this world.
Quin at 19 leaves his family in search of his white father, having tracking skills he finds his way. These stories are very touching and a great read.

4.5 stars
Small short stories all linked to one character, Quinn, the Lonely spirit of the title. I enjoyed the detail and leant a bit more about the times in the US that the indigenous people were moved to reservations. Quinn's mother is comanche and his father is now the local governnor spending time is Washington. There were lots of questions I would have liked answering.
Well written I would recommend.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
