Teaser

“Five years ago, I took a person away from a renegade band of Apaches. A person who’d been a prisoner for over a year, had suffered every degredation, every privation, a person who had been taken away from a wagon train headed for California under most unusual circumstances. A person who preferred death to living with the constant knowledge of what had happened. A person who nurtured bitterness and hate and a lust for revenge.”

 

Employment Solicitation

Letter

My dear Mr. Paladin:

It would be to your advantage to come to the Rusty Anchor saloon on Front Street on the eighth day of August at eight o’clock in the evening.

Your faithful servant,

A friend
