"'WELCOME TO EDEN GROVE -- FASTEST GROWING CITY IN THE WEST.' That was the message that greeted newspaperman Clark Tanner as he rode into the raw, new town in the summer of 1872. A lot of people, Tanner included, were putting all their hopes and dreams into founding the town and making a fresh start of things. Perhaps no one of them wanted to wipe the slate clean more than Clark Tanner, whose crusade against the corruption of a powerful block of Nebraska ranchers had cost him everything he had ever worked for and believed in. Tanner was eager to start a new paper -- and a new life. But ironically, what Tanner could not know was that Eden Grove itself was founded upon corruption. Upon a brutal murder that would one day come to light, threatening the very future of the town and the people who were building it. For Clark Tanner, the worst nightmare of his past was about to come back to haunt him."--
