The Key-Lock Man

The Key-Lock Man by Louis L'Amour

A tale of Wild West adventure.

A man shoots another in a town, and a posse heads after him, certain he shot him in the back -- and also deducing that, since the one thing he took was a hair comb, he was returning to a woman.

Involves the man who had intended to marry the pursued man's wife and his intended revenge, wagons that held gold, trying to catch mustangs, a heroine somewhat different from his ordinary, being a European noblewoman, and more.
