[The Gunsmith 424] • The Hanging Woman

It all started when Clint Adams found a naked woman hanging from a tree, apparently the victim of a lynching. But his decision to cut her down and take her to the nearest town, Winslow, Arizona, put him at odds with Albert Stoll, a religious cult leader who had taken over the town, closed down all the saloons and whorehouses, and enforced his rules with a team of armed disciples.

At the risk of his own life, Clint vowed to free the town from Stoll’s grip, and prove that he was complicit in the lynching of an innocent woman.
