The Sheriff by Robert Dwyer

The Sheriff, opens with an aging Sheriff Donovan coming to terms with his recent diagnosis of terminal cancer. Desperate to maintain his tenuous grasp on Three Chop, the town he willed into existence, Donovan enters into a bargain with a faction of rural Christian Prohibitionists, agreeing to shutter the local saloon and brothel. But his plan to cement his legacy in the eyes of God soon meets resistance from the town’s business elite, whose livelihoods depend on liquor sales. With a band of notorious outlaws descending on Three Chop, the dispute ignites into a furious battle that forces residents to take sides, to choose between the town’s past and future.
