About this ebook
1888—New Mexico Territory
Father William Clarke knows his share of desperate men. A priest in a
dangerous border town, Clarke’s business is to minister to anyone who’ll
listen: liars, beggars, thieves…even killers. But when Father Clarke
walks through the door of the Hard Case Saloon one night, he encounters
something new—a ragged, filthy stranger who insists he has no soul for
Clarke to save.
The priest scoffs at first, convinced the man’s proclamations are
nothing more than the ravings of a lunatic. As the stranger tells his
story, though, Clarke begins to fear his new acquaintance is anything
but crazy. Doyle Paver carries a secret, one powerful enough to threaten
Father Clarke’s beliefs, his sanity…even his life.
