Deputy Sheriff Jim-Bob McClain isn't sure he's ready to
follow in his father's footsteps as the law in Coolridge
County. In fact, he has a hard enough time keeping the peace
between the drunks in the local saloon. But with tough
Sheriff Mont Naylor to back him up he figures he can handle
whatever comes his way. Jim-Bob's first real assignment is
no piece of cake. He must escort a ruthless outlaw into the
hands of justice. All seems well with the lawless killer
firmly in Jim-Bob's custody. But nothing prepares him for an
angry mob, determined to take the law into their own hands
and provide their own brand justice: a hangman's noose.
Shadow of a Star is a gripping tale by Elmer Kelton, voted
one of the best Western Writers of all time by Westerns
