Writer Garth Ennis’s violent, scabrous journey across America’s religious landscape continues in this fifth hardcover volume.

Preacher Jesse Custer’s dark journey to find God, accompanied by his gun-toting girlfriend and Irish vampire buddy, continues as Jesse becomes the sheriff of a troubled Texas town. Then, he decides it’s high time to renew his quest to find God and hold him accountable for all of his actions. But before he can continue down that path, he must reunite with his girlfriend, Tulip.
