Western. Bad News for Bad Men is just that for the Burwell clan when Jimmy Jones arrives in town to take over the Jasper Journal.
Joness uncle has given him the small-town newspaper because Jimmys life so far has been divided into two equal halves: In the first twelve years you were a small child and a schoolboy. Now, instead of being called a gunfighter, Jimmy can be called an editor.
Jimmy changes that from the start by stating that an act of heroism was actually a murder and that the Jasper Journal will tell readers how it happened and who committed it.
