Bounty hunter Leo Guild is on the trail of a wily mountain man wanted for a deadly bank robbery, but he's not entirely convinced his quarry is the true guilty party.

There are mixed feelings in Black River Falls, Iowa in 1963 when Sam McCain goes looking for a blackmailer and finds him dead alongside one of his blackmail victims, a black college student who has been dating the white daughter of a senator.

Guild is a man tormented by his past. He already narrowly escaped one lynching, and he certainly isn't about to get caught up in another one. He's just a weary bounty hunter looking to collect his reward when he rides into the dusty Dakota town of Denton one evening. He doesn't plan to stay long, until an old buddy and a beautiful woman convince him to change his mind. But some folks don't like his presence in Denton. And they'll do everything they...

Sam McCain, a young lawyer with a private investigator's license, becomes embroiled in the case of Susan Squires, a young woman whose body was discovered in the trunk of one of the local Ford dealer's brand new Edsels.

Powerful Jeremiah Belden was gunning for Evelyn, the beautiful woman he blamed for his son's death. The only man standing in his way was Mitch Coldwell, the legendary sharpshooter determined to save his name--and Evelyn's life.
