When the transcontinental railroad is
finished in 1869, drifter Sam Storm finds himself banned from
Salt Lake City high society and the girl he loves. But a loan
from a prostitute to launch a daring business scheme involving
firewater, stolen horses and a dangerous journey to the wild
country of western Canada makes Sam a rich man.

When
he returns to Salt Lake, however, Sam finds he can't forget
Leather Belly, a Blackfoot woman who confronted a charging
grizzly to save his life. Nor can he forget a smallpox-ravaged
Shoshone village on the Snake River, where unknown villains
dragged women and children from their graves, stripping and
scalping the bodies.

After a surprise murder and an
unexpected sickness, the pieces begin to fall together as Sam
uncovers a hideous business scheme, indirectly involving the
woman he loves and an old family enemy by the name of Dick
Boggs, who had come west from Missouri to the Montana gold
fields.

When young Storm sets out on the trail of the
treacherous old man, he finds he has taken on more than he
bargained for. An unexpected turn of events leads to a surprise
ending for this sizzling historical novel.

This is
the third volume in the fast-moving Storm Testament series, the
stirring saga of the Storm family as recorded in Dan Storm's
lost journals.
