A Storm of Shattered Silver (Carter Quinn's Quirks and Curios...

Dark magic isn’t done with the Wild West quite yet. The lich Lucas Linden came and went like lightning, but he was only the first strike of a storm brewing over Tarnation. There’s nothing like the sudden appearance of an eviscerated corpse to make a sheriff’s job hard.It was bad enough when the only things Carter Quinn had to worry about were the town’s dire financial situation and the mass exodus caused when Lucas Linden’s miraculous gold crumbled like sun-baked dog shit. Now the bodies showing up all over town have got people talking about vampires and werewolves. At least the fantasy keeps them distracted from the real host of armed thugs banging at the gate, demanding someone pay for Lucas’s lies.When Quinn pinned the sheriff’s badge to his shirt, he had intended to put his feet up, tip his bowler down over his eyes, and take a well-earned rest. With Lucas defeated, keeping order in Tarnation should have been easy. Quinn thought he was doing the right thing by leaving his swindling days behind, but the numinous forces controlling the world apparently didn’t agree that entitled him to a break. He’s the one with the star on his chest when things start to heat up, and it falls to him and his deputy to fix everything before tensions boil over and all hell breaks loose.
