SUMMARY:
The place is a frontier boom town where the graft gets collected more regularly than the trash. The hero is Bugs McKenna, slow-witted, hot-tempered man with manslaughter in his past and much worse in his immediate future.

Because inWild Townnobody does you any favors--and the price of advancement is always a little higher than what you can afford.
