Gut-Shot (2014)
“A man who slept little, he’d already been behind his desk when Sam Flintlock rode out early that morning.
He’d not gone to Clifton Wraith’s burial, preferring to remain home with his Bible and his thoughts. But Marshal Tom Lithgow had told him about the funeral and the Pinkerton’s last words.
Guilty big man . . .
Those three words had haunted him.
Why had the Pinkerton refused more of Dr. Thorne’s morphine, choosing to die in agony only to utter such a meaningless clue?
Guilty big man . . .
Con...stable had just read Isaiah 9:2 when the meaning of the words dawned on him.
The people who walk in darkness will see a great light; Those who live in a dark land, the light will shine on them.
And Frank Constable, attorney-at-law, had seen the light.
Guilty big man . . .
Lithgow had flippantly told Sam Flintlock that Open Sky had any number of big men, most of them guilty of something. And as an attorney, Constable knew that was true.
But Wraith had desperately endured his pain long enough to tell Flintlock that Jamie McPhee was innocent of the murder of Polly Mallory and that a big man was the real killer.MoreLess
