The Last Shopkeeper

by Carl Reader

Overview

A spring morning in Montana is shattered when Joseph Smith, a namesake nephew of the founder of the Mormon religion and fundamentalist, emerges from his tepee and his young wife is shot dead at his feet. He races after his wife's murderer but kills Three Pigs before he finds out why the man murdered his bride. He returns to Bannack, where his collection of three other wives are waiting. They, too, fall victim to the plot against Smith but Smith and his sidekick, an immense Flathead Indian he has named Weston, extract a bloody, Old West-style revenge.
