In this fourth book of the family saga western novels, Robert Fortune is the last of the Fortune family to come home. The youngest son is not like his father, the legendary Brazos Fortune. Not a businessman like his brother Todd. Not a notorious retired gunslinger like his brother Sam. Nor the social darling of the Black Hills like little sister, Dacee June. He’s a career soldier who no longer has a career.
With the discipline of a West Point graduate and the rock solid faith of his mother, Robert moves his family to Deadwood to join the rest of the clan. Robert finds not only his place as a railroad detective but a fistful of enemies, all seeking vengeance against him and his family.

Stephen Bly notes about Deadwood, Dakota Territory:
Anyone who came to Deadwood, Dakota Territory, before the trains arrived had to hike, straddle a horse, or ride the stagecoach to town. The roads were neither straight nor smooth. It was not a place to go for a sight-seeing trip. You went there for a reason: gold! The early pioneers were tough, bold, determined, and a bit arrogant. They were the stagecoach aristocracy. Even today in the northern Black Hills, anyone who can trace his family back to the pre-railroad days holds a certain place of respect.
South Dakota gained statehood on November 2, 1889. But on December 29, 1980, the railroad reached Deadwood and with it came easy contact with the outside world.
