Scene

A sun-baked western stop sits between desert, shack, and canyon, with dust gathering around the tables, cactus patches, boulders, and one uneasy horse. Somewhere in that sparse frontier scene, an unnamed rider has left a murder for the town to solve.

Key Mechanic

Using the special outlaw clue to lock the horse square, then chaining cactus, table, boulder, diagonal, and north/south clues.
