The whole town of Bitter Springs is in the grasp of evil the 4 men of the Burdick family. Lorraine Berry, owner of the Pennyroyal Saloon and Hotel, hires a gunman named Nat Church to help the citizens.

On the train headed for Bitter Springs, Nat Church is slashed across the abdomen. Via a chance encounter with Kellen Coltrane, Nat gasps words about Bitter Springs and Pennyroyal. After Churchs death, Coltrane stops in Bitter Springs and finds that Pennyroyal refers to a hotel.

Once Coltrane meets the widder, he commits himself to help the town. Citizens are dying with alarming regularity. Thus begins an interesting tale; theres much more to the story than at first appears.

I gave part of this score to the pair of characters readers will meet fairly quickly; their interaction and humor add so much to this story. Dont worry; you wont be able to miss them! They add balance to the darker aspects of the book.

I cannot think of a way to state why I didnt give the book a 5 without disclosing too much so I wont!
