Der Reiter kam von Osten. Die Sonne stand im Westen. Der Stern auf der linken Brustseite des Ankommlings reflektierte das Sonnenlicht.Brad wischte sich mit dem Handrucken den Schwei von der Stirn.

Er wirkte angespannt und wachsam, seine Miene war seltsam verschlossen, und als er zwei Pferdelangen vor Brad anhielt, sagte er hart und ohne jede Freundlichkeit: Man hat mir heute Tom Ballard in die Stadt gebracht, Winslow. Er war kalt und steif. Jemand hat ihm in der vergangenen Nacht ein Stuck Blei zwischen die Schulterblatter geknallt.
