"Shotgun Gold" by W. C. Tuttle is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the chaotic and morally ambiguous town of Turquoise City, depicting the life and challenges of its inhabitants, especially focusing on law enforcement and local rivalries. The main character, Roaring Rigby, is newly appointed as sheriff and faces the daunting task of enforcing law and order in a town steeped in corruption and crime. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Roaring Rigby and Judge Beal, discussing the resignation of the previous sheriff amid threats to his safety. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the town's struggles with its notorious gambling and honkatonk establishments. Rigby is aware of the dangers that accompany his new role, especially as tensions rise following a gambler's murder, with suspicion falling on Pete Conley, a half-breed cowboy. As the plot unfolds, Rigby must navigate his responsibilities as sheriff while managing the town's volatile dynamics and forging unlikely alliances, hinting at further conflict and drama to come.
