The Comet
2 May 2024
An impending comet could be the sign of doom. It also brings out the flim flam men, one that leads to murder.

Reverend Jordan and his posse have arrived at Libertyville. Deputy Marshal Sam Buckhart who is visiting sickly 90 year old Mrs Aylmer just knows they are chancers. Jordan is a fake preacher and he is carry loads of peppermint candy.

Buckhart wonders just what their game plan. Before long Reverend Jordan is frightening the uneducated locals with stories from the Revelations. Disaster is coming.

Not only are the townsfolk buying up the preacher's comet pills. They are selling up their land to him but one man spots that the currency is fake.

A good story about superstition and conmen. Buckhart's Harvard education comes into use as he explains about comets.

A good bit was Mrs Aylmer looking at the comet and she recalled Halley's Comet when she was younger.
