The Sheriff Kill

Only one human being could have gotten Kiowa Smith to quit his drifting ways -- Paddy Burke, the tomcatting hombre who offered to partner him on a new ranch outside the town of Galilee, Kansas. But Paddy lies dead at the hands of Sheriff Ben Clark, for no good reason except a murdering streak in the lawman that gets meaner every year. The law of the West says Kiowa's got to take down Clark in revenge -- and half of Galilee is ready to pay him to do it. But Kiowa hadn't counted on the arrival of some foreign-born desperadoes from back East -- more vicious than any mob from here to Texas . . .
