True Believer

When violent suspects elude the grasp of U.S. Marshal Augustus Ash and Storey County Sheriff Tom Kelly, fictional ex-priest turned bounty hunter W. W. Ronin tracks the two to eastern Nevada.

Using the series' well-known characters - Ormsby County Deputy Marcus T. Slade (Dustsucker) and Emma Nauman (director of the American Gospel Mission in Carson City) -True Believer relates the early history of Elko, Lamoille and Wells while spinning an imaginary tale of murder, mayhem and unrequited love in the eastern shadow of the Ruby Mountains.

Meet real-life hotel owner James Clark (Elko's Depot Hotel). Visit Wells' first retail establishment and bar (the Bulls Head Saloon). And discover that Eastern Nevada in 1881 will never seem the same in this fourth of Townsley's Westerns, True Believer, where some people will live or die at the whim of a small man's whip. "Real people. Real places. The way the West was really won."
