SYNOPSIS: Rebecca Angel has been murdered!  Apparently our “angel” had fallen on hard times and intended to climb back up ~ any way she could.  She would stop at nothing:  committing bank robbery, blackmail, even double-parking her horse.  It also seems her little black diary makes for better copy than the National Enquirer ~ and everybody’s secrets are out!

Could Gabriella have a need for revenge or did she just not want the competition in a bad economy?  Did Hyrum Q. Justice “see” something about Rebecca that made him snap?  Could the Reverend Brimstone’s “private healings” have gone too far?  Or perhaps Helen and her “friend” finally got away with murder?  Be prepared to have some knee slappin’ fun as you come along for one of the wildest Wild West rides of your life!

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS:

Marshal Jim Courtright – Jim is an intelligent, kind lawman struggling to maintain order in one of the wildest parts of Texas.  He would like to spend a quiet evening at home, but instead will be working his way through the parade of zany characters to determine who murdered Rebecca.

Judge Hyrum Q. Justice – Justice may be blind, but in Hyrum’s case it’s “blind drunk.”  He rarely sees both sides of the case, but he frequently sees a lot of other things.  Justice to the extreme is Hyrum’s specialty.

Reverend Simon Brimstone – A man who believes the wages of sin should be paid directly to his “orphanage fund.”  Equipped with a used carnival tent and a wife who gets “healed” at every revival, he is on a mission to save our souls…one dollar at a time.

Helen Brimstone – If at first you don’t succeed…try, try again ~ so Helen’s friend keeps telling her.   She’s on husband number eight and this one may not be her last.   Helen may finally succeed by turning the hard earned “orphanage fund” into her well-deserved “widow’s fund.”

Gabriella (slight Italian accent) – This newly hired, fiery dance hall girl attempts to outrun her past, but her past keeps running along beside her.  Always on the lookout for her “Big Daddy,” she’s long on name and short on details about her previous vocation and just who she was to Rebecca Angel.
