by Lewis B. Patten
Category: Large type books

U.S. Marshal August Cragg was an experienced lawman. So when he rode into Broken Butte, it wasn't long before he detected trouble beneath the seemingly ordinary existence of its townspeople. Cragg was on his way to Yuma to pick up a prisoner when he stopped off at Broken Butte for a rest. Although he had no official business there, the townsfolk suspected otherwise. They could see no further than the star on his chest -- and that star seeemed to make them uncomfortable. Did they have something to hide? Cragg had to head off to Yuma and would probably never know. But when a group of men suddenly tried to kill him, Cragg's curiousity grew. There was something bothering the people of Broken Butte and he aimed to find out just what it was.
