When army scout Lane Devens breaks his commanding officer s
nose and dunks his head in a trough, he is unceremoniously
cashiered from service. But there s a new job awaiting him in
Pennington, Arizona Territory, and after a three-month stint in the
Fort Bowie guardhouse, he s on his way home to a fresh start. There
he meets with Mariano Diego, a leading denizen of the Mexican
community, and Robert Cates, a wealthy cattleman. They want
Lane to investigate the shady dealings of Pennington s most promi-
nent businessmen, George Nimitz and Estevan Carrillo.
Cares and Diego have discovered that the means by which Nimitz
and Carrillo acquire land range from questionable to outright ille-
gal, and the local sheriff is involved. Lane s job is to gather enough
solid evidence to bring in indictments against them, but before he
has even begun, Robert Cates is murdered. Lane s best friend is
accused of the crime and found dead in his jail cell, an alleged sui-
cide. More murder and mayhem ensue before Lane can stop the
ruthless powerbrokers.
