Deuces and Ladies Wild: A Santiago Toole Western

Santiago Toole, the sheriff of Miles City in frontier Montana, is also a doctor but he can't make a living at it. He soon finds that enforcing the law and practicing medicine intertwine in startling ways, and there is as much danger from sick or crazed people as there is from men who heed no law on earth.

Jubal Peach is the gambling king of Miles City, but this isn't enough for him. He wants to own it all, and that includes Miles City Kate's thriving saloon. Sheriff Toole knows there is going to be trouble. Neither Toole or Peach, both hot-tempered characters, is going to back down. And neither one scares easily. It doesn't take too long before bullets fly, blood is spilled, and a lot of bodies dirty up the ground.
