Elmore Leonard – Valdez Is Coming (1970)
"A man can be in different places, different times, and be different men. Everyone likes slow moving Western constable
Bob Valdez, who is allowed to patrol the Mexican part of town. He is a quiet man, a decent man who cares for the people he
serves. However, when cattle baron turned gunrunner Frank Tanner and his hardcase thugs cause Valdez to kill a black man
falsely accused of murder, another man, from another place and time, begins to stir. Seeking a lousy $100 to compensate
the dead man's pregnant Apache wife, Valdez becomes a target of Tanners disdain."
