A reluctant 1870s gunslinger with Tourette's and a quick draw . . .

When William escorts the lady Emily over the mountains and into Lincoln, New Mexico, he finds her brother John in a battle for survival in the infamous Lincoln County War. The sheriff and his posse of hired killers, secure under the protection of the courts and the governor, have a stranglehold on the town. Eastern newspapers called Lincoln's main street "the most dangerous street in American." And that was before William arrived.
