CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE

Tombstone, Arizona

The man leaning against the wooden building next to the site of the OK Corral gunfight could have been one of Tombstone’s desperado re-enactors, except for a major difference. Tyler Lee Clayton was a real killer.

Clayton was from Alabama where he’d knifed a man in a gambling brawl. The trial judge was a friend of the Clayton family, and said he would suspend the jail sentence if Tyler joined the army. Clayton signed up. At the time, the army was scraping the bottom of the barrel for people to send to Iraq and Clayton’s anti-social behavior was seen as a boon rather than a barrier.

A thin cigar drooped from his lips as he surveyed the streets of Tombstone. He was around five feet nine, rangy in build, with stringy muscles packed on his slender frame. He had a lean face with high tight cheekbones and flat gray eyes that suggested the coiled violence of a rattlesnake.
