The Ghost Of Apache Creek

Description for THE GHOST OF APACHE CREEK A Ralph Compton Novel by Joseph A West:

HAUNTED

Requiem, formerly known as Apache Creek, is a town that has seen better days. After a plague of cholera swept through the streets, the only folks left behind are ghosts, including Marshal Sam Pace. Even though he's still breathing, three years of solitude have turned Sam into a phantom -- a lonely man who's more than a little touched in the head.

But when a woman on the run stumbles into Requiem, Sam suddenly finds a purpose in life. As Jess Leslie's murderous pursuers track her to the town, the former lawman must protect her and make use of gunslinger skills long out of use....
