Home / Man-Killer
Her real name was Vicky Hustin, but to the people of Big Hominy she would always be ''that uppity mountain gal, that piece of hill trash who thinks sheās so high and mighty.'' And when her ex-husband was found brutally murdered, they had still another name for her: Man-killer!
They also had a name for someone like Wade Calhoun, who dared to believe in Vickyās innocence. Crazy, thatās what he was. Shell-shocked from the war, probably. Just ignore him till the trialās over and that no-good galās had her comeuppance on the gallows!
But Wade Calhoun wasnāt giving up that easily. Heād turn up the one bit of evidence the town couldnāt ignore. Because even if it meant pitting his life against that of a killer, he was determined once and for all to balance the scales of Big Hominyās justice!
