Mitchel McCann may have lost a war, but he never lost his belief. The preacher kept his faith throughout all the blood and the dying; trading his pulpit for a saddle and delivering his sermons with a brace of Walker Colts. McCann still believes in God, but he is no longer sure that God believes in him. Now fate has given him a chance at redemption; the opportunity to save a life instead of taking one.
Justice Simpson was only seven years old when she lost father. She has been losing steadily ever since. The Yankee ball that did for Dan Simpson also killed his wife, Rosalee, although it took another nine years to do it. Alone and destitute on the unforgiving streets of Saint Joseph, Missouri, Justice knows that the sooner or later the bullet will find her too.
In the winter of 1872 the war is long over, but on the Kansas—Missouri border old wounds are slow to heal and they leave ugly scars. The past is something that neither the preacher nor the girl can escape.
Chris Leek writes the kind of fiction that your mother probably wouldn’t like. He is part of the team behind the late night entertainment machine and genre fiction imprint, Zelmer Pulp and an editor at the western magazine, The Big Adios. His novella, “Nevada Thunder” will be out shortly from Snubnose Press. You can find out more at his blog: www.nevadaroadkill.blogspot.co.uk
