A very good western story pitting good against bad with a touch of racial prejudices thrown in. The new town marshal, who himself has a history of failures, and his deputy try to bring justice to a town that is governed by untrustworthy politicians led by outlaw brothers.  Against all odds, the pair administers law and order to a violent town that has given up on justice but craves for peace and decency. Plenty of action is dished out in this circa 1872 wild-times saga.Highlights include the detailed descriptions of the town and its characters, plus the personal struggles between the white marshal who is an ex- confederate army soldier, and his black ex-slave deputy is played out throughout the story with an enjoyable - if not predictable - conclusion.I recommend this book and look forward to reading the authors other works.
