The American Southwest of the 1870s is a harsh place, and the lawmen who enforce the peace there face danger nearly as often as the outlaws they chase. Marshal M. D. "Shorty" Thompson, a small man with a large reputation, was personally chosen for the job by President Hayes. When a beloved nun, Sister Anna, is attacked, Thompson arrives too late to save her, and she dies asking for her priest. The only suspect is a huge, fearsome man named "Little Buck" Kilgore, yet nobody who accuses him actually saw the crime. Thompson, bound by the law, cannot simply shoot the man, and if he cannot find proof soon, he may face a mob of angry townsfolk seeking their own justice. This is a western of frontier hardship and hard choices, told in the voice of a seasoned storyteller.
