Publisher's Synopsis
A former minister turned gunfighter accepts an invitation to San Angelo. The Town Council is looking for a Town Marshal, but not a killer/town tamer. Stony Diamond who has just begun creating a reputation as a shootist, accepts the position. He must find two deputies who are strong of courage and honest of heart - and do the job without killing the town which is still growing. Drunks, cardsharps, as well as killers think San Angelo is a wide-open town where anything goes. And there's something mysterious about the woman who guides and rules the Town Council from behind the scenes.
