The Day the Sheriff Died

They killed the sheriff. Now his son has to wear the badge.

In Dusty Gorge, the coming railroad promises fortunes for the men ruthless enough to seize them. No one stands in the way of cattle baron Raymond Rourke, except Sheriff Thomas Mercer.

So Rourke has him murdered.

The killing leaves the town frightened and desperate for someone to stand against the violence tightening around the valley. That burden falls to Thomas’s son, Elias Mercer, a 24-year-old deputy who never believed he was ready to become sheriff.
