Black Diamond Western #38

Black Diamond arrives in the mining town of Diggersville to find the community gripped by fear—miners have been murdered and robbed on the trail to Dry Gulch, and the townspeople are convinced that Coyote Charlie, a solitary man known for his tamed pet coyote, is the culprit. When an enraged mob moves to lynch Charlie without trial, Black Diamond steps in to protect him and launches his own investigation into the real killer's identity. As Black Diamond and Charlie search for evidence in the treacherous mountain country, the town's suspicions only grow darker.

Black Diamond and his partner Bumper arrive in Custerville expecting rest and a hot meal, but the prosperous mining town greets them with evasive townspeople, a hostile sheriff, and sudden violence that hints at something far darker lurking beneath the surface. As the government marshal pushes for answers, he uncovers evidence of corruption and danger—and becomes a target himself. With Melissa's help and Bumper riding for reinforcements, Black Diamond must stay alive long enough to expose the truth that fear has made law in Custerville.
