About This Book

The narrative takes place in a small Southwestern town where mission bells mark a succession of violent events beginning with a fatal shooting in a saloon. Jim Galloway, a large, controlled figure, and a volatile young shooter become entwined with the stern sheriff as accusations, secret bargains, and the lure of hidden gold escalate into posse rides, ambushes, and pitched fights among arroyo and adobe streets. Investigations, betrayals, and shifting loyalties drive the action forward, testing courage, greed, and communal order until a final confrontation determines the town's immediate fate.
