The Stranger From Abilene A Ralph Compton Novel

the long version

Bighorn Point appears to be a quiet place. But when a stranger comes looking for a murderer, it turns out that not all the respectable citizens are what they seem. Down-on-his-luck rancher Cage Clayton has been hired to track down and kill Lissome Terry - a man who years ago left a path of death, rape, and robbery in his wake. Though he doesn't know what Terry looks like, Clayton knows his target is living under an assumed name in Bighorn Point, so finding him shouldn't be too hard. But when Marshal Will Durant gives Claytons a week to find his man in a town where everyone knows his deadly purpose, catching the crafty outlaw will be anything but easy....
