Instead of chasing the culprit, Thompson must guard a huge, intimidating man named Little Buck Kilgore, who stands accused of the crime. Townspeople are certain of his guilt, yet nobody can say they witnessed the act. Thompson would rather face a band of outlaws than sort out this tangle. If he cannot find clear evidence soon, the marshal may find himself confronting an angry crowd of ordinary citizens demanding justice. The story is told in the plain-spoken voice of a southwestern storyteller, drawing on the landscapes and hardships of the western frontier.
