Summary, Etc. "Sheriff John Glade, former gunslinger and convict turned lawman, is getting along fine in Omaha Crossing -- until he is forced to kill the son of the town's most prominent citizen, Mayor Gideon Teague. When Teague demands Glade's resignation because of the killing, Glade refuses to give up his star. Tensions rapidly build, and Glade soon realizes his very life is in danger. Teague had long seen Glade as a threat to his authority. He had hired Glade because he felt he could use Glade's former life against him to get special favors. But when Glade refused to be manipulated, Teague started to look for ways to oust him. Now, he uses his son's death to turn public opinion against the sheriff. When Teague's other son is killed while in jail, Teague is quick to blame Glade again. With threats of a lynching or an ambush, how much more can Glade endure? Whom can he trust? Who will stand with him?"-- Provided by publisher.
