While working on a ranch in the Niobrara country in Wyoming, Dunbar connects the death of a hardscrabble homesteader with the death of an old horse trader some fifteen years earlier. Then more murders take place--a wandering drunk who has picked up gossip in an alehouse, and then the proprietor of the alehouse. It seems that people who know too much are being silenced. Then an old woman tells of an ancient crime on Old Woman Creek, where a sheepherder was killed and his partner escaped. Can Dunbar bring justice to the Niobrara country?
