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 War—and the
trouble that follows him. Ken Casey has a secret: Ken Casey
isn’t his real name. His real name is Ded Ackerman, known
throughout the West as “Death’s Acolyte†for his
quickness with a pistol, and—although he never sold or
used guns unless defending others or himself—his 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
outlaws—including Luke Draco, one of the deadliest
gunfighters of the day—ride 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 there’s only one person who can take on the
outlaws and save Wardell…
