Cleared of wrongdoing and now wearing a badge, Sam Keaton deals with an unsolved bank robbery and a double murder, as the townspeople refuse to trust that he is on the right side of the law.
What a delightful blend of a western novel with a double murder mystery & the marshal who must see that justice prevails. Marshal Keaton is lead from Laramie, WY to Denver, CO to try to piece together the puzzle of "who-done-it." The author also takes the Marshal on a personal journey about committment to the woman he loves & about his belief in God. This book kept me turning pages to see the Marshal solve these murders.

Samuel Keaton has returned to Laramie, this time as the Sheriff. But things aren't as simple as arresting the occasional drunk. There's the traveling revivalist in the cell arrested for attempted murder who taunts Samuel whenever he's in the office. Then there's the double murder in the bank vault set up to look like a robbery gone wrong. And, to make matters worse, a gang of confederates has wandered into town. While they aren't causing any trouble, the townsfolk blame them for everything bad happening in town and are mad at Samuel because he's not taking any action. His hands are tied, however, because of lack of evidence.Sigmund Brouwer has written another great book. Samuel Keaton's world is enhanced by the introduction of Doc and Jake. The mystery is very engaging and the writing style is relaxed, inviting the reader to sit back and enjoy. I highly recommend this entertaining mystery, originally released as "Moon Basket."
