Black Diamond Western #37

Black Diamond and his sidekick Bumper rescue a sickly young sheep-herder named Dan Wicker from a brutal beating by local cattlemen who despise the competition for grazing land. When Wicker refuses to abandon his herding job despite their warnings, Black Diamond watches helplessly as a mysterious enemy orchestrates increasingly vicious attacks—stampeding wild horses through the flock and burning the prairie—all while secretly framing Wicker to turn the entire cattle-ranching community against him. It's a story of a defenseless man caught between greed and sabotage, with Black Diamond racing to uncover the truth before an angry mob takes justice into their own hands.

A tense game of suspicion and loyalty plays out as Diamond works to separate coincidence from guilt.
