In a town struck down by plague, the only one who can stop a mad clergyman is a bounty hunter from hell—in the New York Times-bestselling author’s Western.
Armed with his grandfather’s ancient Hawken muzzleloader, the bounty hunter known as Flintlock is always ready to end the life of an enemy. But when he arrives in Happyville, the stench of death already hangs heavy in the air. He finds the townspeople dead in their beds, having succumbed to a deadly scourge.
Forced to stay put or risk spreading the disease, Flintlock’s quarantine is broken by Cage Kingfisher, a mad clergyman who preaches the gospel of death. He orders his followers to round up Happyville’s survivors and bring them home to face the plague they fled. To save them, Flintlock must send Kingfisher to Hell. But the deadly deacon can draw a pistol faster than the eye can blink. It will take the devil to bring him down. Or the frontier legend they call Flintlock.
