Wealthy cattle baron Charles Kingsley is fatally shot in his home, a flat granite stone placed beneath his head. On the wall above his body among Western memorabilia, Kate Jepp notices an original invitation to Tom Horn's hanging. This notorious gunslinger, who tracked and shot cattle rustlers in the late 1800's, also left behind a stone as a symbol of vengeance. Alerted by this link to Wyoming's bloody past, Kate looks for would-be seekers of revenge. Kingsley's new bride has displaced his niece, Mary Ellen, as his heir, and he has been engaged in a fierce battle with Sam Swen, whose foreman, Ty Garrison, may be a modern-day hired gun. Each step Kate takes places her in the path of deadly vengeance.
Loretta Jackson and Vickie Britton, sisters and co-authors, are drawn to out-of-the-way places, old mining towns, and the vast rangelands where the legends and history of the past live on. Before returning to Junction City, Kansas, Loretta taught English and Creative Writing to her Sioux students at Crazy Horse High in Wanblee, South Dakota. Vickie, now living in Hutchinson, Kansas, spent a number of years in Nevada and in Laramie, Wyoming, where she loved spending time exploring and writing. The two sisters have co-authored over sixty novels and numerous short stories, many with a Western setting and theme.
