Sometimes, justice and the law don't see eye-to-eye.

Post-Civil War Colorado Territory, 1870's. When a Denver City lawyer is murdered, the town of Alamosa erupts in violence. The trial, lead by the conflicted Judge Stone, ignites a series of events that threaten a second civil war between east and west. A vast conspiracy is exposed in both this world and the next.

It all hinges on the guilt or innocence of one woman. But she is already dead.

Set in the richly described post-Civil War America, Alamosa is both a classic western and an anti-western. It calls into question many norms of the genre while providing clever insight into the human condition: what it means to bring justice, and how justice by itself might not be enough.
