Shadow Killers

A undercover detective goes up against an infamous gang in a western from “a master storyteller of frontier history” (Elmer Kelton, author of The Good Old Boys).

The preacher wore black, but beneath his frock coat was a hair-trigger colt in a cross-draw holster—tools of a killer's trade . . .

The Reverend Titus Jacoby has come to Cimarron on a mission: to put himself up as bait for a shadowy coalition of corrupt landowners known as the Santa Fe Ring. But for those who intend to keep their stranglehold on New Mexico, going after the good Reverend will be a big mistake—because the fiery-talking man of God is really Cole Braddock, the West's most notorious manhunter operating in disguise. And with a little help from a lady, Braddock won't leave Cimarron until he forces the conspirators out into the open—and brings them down . . .
