Summary

When Pinkerton operative Temple Bywater arrives in Saratoga, Wyoming, he is met by a bullet, and then by a mystery. Senator Andrew Stone has been murdered. But is the killer Nathan Wedge, the banker next in line to take Stone's place? Or did lawyers Forrest and Mill Jackson, and town marshal Tom Gaines, all have a hand in the murder? Those and other questions must be answered by Bywater, his Pinkerton sidekick, Clarence Sugg, and Texas Jack Logan. Faced by gunmen whose allegiances are cloaked in mystery, Temple Bywater fights on. The showdown comes in Saratoga, when he must rely on his speed of hand. Will he come out on top in a bloody gun fight against an adversary who is not only tough, but completely unforeseen?

With protests raging over the new bill, the government scrambles to restore peace and order.Armed with a probationary private investigation license, Janette and her friends race against time to prevent the next murder. On the surface, the motive for the killings seems simple enough: the senate bill, if passed, would transform the United States into a militant dictatorship.As hostilities around the nation intensify and the pressure of the investigation strains Janette’s relationships with her family and friends, she learns loyalty only goes so far, friendships are as easily forged as they are broken, and justice means little to those determined to preserve their personal liberties.But when a murder attempt turns into a kidnapping, she’s left with one choice: uncover the truth, or die trying.

    Literary critic, E. A. Koltonovskaya, described the literary style of novelist Maria Krestovskaya as follows, “Her pen, for all its feminine agility, is often remarkable for its nearly masculine reticence. She has none of the chaotic flood of thoughtless emotions, which so frequently plagues the works by female writers. She does not like lyrical diversions and allows her characters to speak and act for themselves. Even during the most dramatic scenes, her tone remains restrained. Her formulation of women’s issues gives one the sense of a broad, universal foundation. There is none of the narrowness, exclusiveness, and bias so prevalent in the topic as described by ideological feminists.” 
The story that follows is quintessential Krestovskaya - complete with humor, deftly delivered touches of real life, and ample food for thought.
