ED GORMAN


Lumber baron Gerald Soames was one of the most prominent citizens of Butte City, Colorado -- until someone put a bullet between his eyes. All fingers point to his nephew, Abner, who was found with the mur­der weapon, but was too drunk to remember what happened.  


Sheriff Reed Matthews doesn't believe his prisoner is the murderer. Nor, apparently, do three of Butte City's wealthiest entrepre­neurs, who've been exhibiting strange behavior in the wake of Soames's death. Matthews's investigation into their mutual business uncovers a secret that may con­demn them all to an early grave...
