The Guilty Ones — George G. Gilman

AVENGING

On his way out West, Edge joins up with a Scottish couple, Angus and Ruth Ross, bound on a strange mission. The Rosses are traveling in an old Conestoga wagon loaded with four costly and ornate caskets. They have come a long way in search of four unmarked graves ....

Edge and the Rosses stumble onto their first clue, when they are greeted by nervous, silent townspeople in a small Kansas town. Their silence soon turns into angry violence and Edge and the Rosses are run out of town with a grim warning -- give up the search for the graves ...or else.

But they continue to search. And Edge plays his ironic, deadly part in the final scenario of death as the mystery falls away, and the murderous truth emerges.
