The Hanging of Father Miguel

By M A Armen and Margaret Armen

Book Overview

War had killed 'Glint' McClain's taste for gunfighting. Perhaps that is why a young hardcase could best the famous gunman and leave him for dead on the parched ground of the Arizona desert. Father Miguel finds McClain and nurses him back to health. To repay this kindness, McClain agrees to fight off the Lathrops, local mine owners who are enslaving the Indians in Miguel's parish.

Yet despite his Good Samaritan ways, the townspeople want Father Miguel dead--he brings nothing but trouble, they say. And now, the Indians fear him too. Is Father Miguel a man of God or Father Diablo, a lying cheating scoundrel? McClain must take the measure of his savior, before he can take aim at the true enemy.

Customer Reviews

An very good Western

M.A. Armen, a Hollywood screenwriter, has written a very good Western. Glint McClain returns to Arizona after fighting in the Union army. Young gunfighter, Hal Peters, shoots McClain and leaves him for dead. Father Miguel, a priest, finds McClain and nurses him back to health. To repay the debt, McClain agrees to help Miguel free the Indians of his parish from being enslaved by Bart Lathrop to work in the gold mine. There is mystery here, as well. Why do the Indians refer to Father Miguel as Father Diablo? Very entertaining and a quick read.
