No court would punish the killers — because the men who pulled the triggers answered to the same machine that owned the sheriff, the prosecutor, and the judge.

Newspaper headlines and prime-time TV interviews lauded Enrique Peña Nieto after he won Mexico’s 2012 presidential election. Time Magazine front covered him as “The Savior of Mexico.” By the second year of his administration it had become obvious that the savior was a failure. Attempted cover ups failed to conceal an economy based on self-enrichment and the impoverishment of overly 40 percent of the population and the disappearance of forty-three young student protesters. Peña Nieto’s wobbly status became even more fragile when he encountered US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Old Shoe thought he’d seen it all. Having settled in Arizona two decades previous, when Cochise was still taking trophies off white folks, the arrival of the steel pony was supposed to settle all that lawlessness. A silver strike in the Dragoon Mountains changed that, drawing desperate men from every walk of life to the upstart mining camp of Tombstone. That’s when an outsider with poor intentions showed up, asking for a price on land that wasn’t for sale.
