Zac Cobb

Created by Jim Walker

ZAC COBB is a former Confederate soldier who moves to California and becomes an undercover investigator for Wells Fargo in a series of westerns  written by Jim Walker, a name to reckon with in the niche market of Christian Evangelical publishing.

From what I can gather, Zac may not be a man who makes trouble his business, but it certainly seems to find him. He’s even got a brother, Julian, from whom he’s estranged, a notorious outlaw renowned for his cruelty and callousness, for that good ol’ Cain and Able thang.

But regardless of any religious ovewrtomes, the series seems pretty rootin’ tootin’ to me. Zac’s cases take him all over, including the Rockies, Texas, San Francisco, Oklahoma, Kansas, Dodge City, Arizona, New Mexico, old Mexico (to bust Julian out of jail) and, in one memorable case, Alaska.

Zac does all the typical P.I. things, tailing suspects, questiioning suspects, looking for missing persons, etc., plus a few with a unique western spin.Things like saving pretty kidnap victims, chasings bandits, and dealing with such Western faves as cattle rustlers, river pirates, stagecoach and train robbers and hostile natives —all while Jesus serves as his sidekick.

Oh, and occasionally his “good” brothers, Joe and James, lend a hand.
