Judge Wes Talbot was the youngest circuit judge in the history of the territory, a fact of which he was mightily proud, considering that he had started out as an enforcer of the law, rather than a dispenser of justice. When Wes tried Dan Meldrum, the defendant in the infamous Concord Massacre case, the evidence had been damning. Finding him guilty of rape and murder Wes sentenced him to be hanged. Yet Cash Meldum, the bounty hunter known as the deacon, was convinced of his brother's innocence and set out to make the judge pay. But then fate plays a hand and a gang of outlaws kidnaps Talbot's fiancee and her best friend. Now Wes himself is forced on the run and as events close in it surely looks like Nemesis for the Judge.
