From the back cover:

In a town called Hate only one man ruled, and his double-barreled shotgun was the law. Sherriff [stet] Corners owned the town and everything in it, including the people. He was judge, jury, and executioner. No one dated risk the bloody consequences of challenging Corners' authority. Until Edge rode into town, hell bent on drowning his grief at the local saloon and with the first available woman.
