The West Texas town of Burnt Rock has a new preacher. Handsome and sophisticated, Reverend Warner soon wins the affection and respect of the congregation, but he seems particularly drawn to lady rancher Lee Morgan. Ben Flood is not taken in so quickly. He's shaken the minister's hand and found it heavily callused . . . and doesn't the minister have an unusual fondness for guns? When a blizzard hits Burnt Rock, the truth plays out in both murder and redemption.
