Subject(s): Genre/Form: Summary: "The ten Guilty Guns had ravaged the village of sleeping Cheyennes at dawn, and when the sun came up Little Dry Creek ran crimson with blood. A hundred Indians were cut down that morning. One lived, a toddler, but not for revenge. Found and raised by Tom Ormsby, Johnny wanted only to forget, to make his peace with the white man. Twenty years later, Tom has been the sheriff for fifteen years. Johnny, accepted by the community, has been his deputy for three years. But suddenly, Johnny's memory was jolted awake. One by one the Guilty Guns were themselves shot down. The accusing finger -- and the dangerous, aroused lynch mob -- pointed to Johnny. His only hope was to find and expose the real killer. So the hunt began -- one man against a desperate and unknown killer."-- Provided by publisher.
