From an award-winning bestselling author comes a classic, action-packed western novel surrounding the arrival of a stranger in a small Texas town after the Civil WarΓ’β¬βand the trouble that follows him. Ken Casey has a secret: Ken Casey isnΓ’β¬β’t his real name. His real name is Ded Ackerman, known throughout the West as Γ’β¬ΕDeathΓ’β¬β’s AcolyteΓ’β¬Β for his quickness with a pistol, andΓ’β¬βalthough he never sold or used guns unless defending others or himselfΓ’β¬βhis constant brushes with death. He is also an ordained Episcopal priest, a man of the cloth who lost his way, and maybe his soul, during the Civil War. Now, travelling through the West under an assumed name, Casey finds himself in the small, peaceful town of Wardell, Texas, where, keeping a low profile, he takes a job as a cook. But once Angus Pugh and his army of outlawsΓ’β¬βincluding Luke Draco, one of the deadliest gunfighters of the dayΓ’β¬βride into town, the peace is disturbed. Awaiting a shipment of gold, the outlaws hold the town hostage, vowing to destroy anyone who gets in their way. As innocent blood is shed, it becomes increasingly clear that thereΓ’β¬β’s only one person who can take on the outlaws and save WardellΓ’β¬Β¦
