But the investigation is jeopardized by the shadowy man who threatened to kill him-and by the burden of family responsibility.An upcoming wedding, a tiny new member of the family, and dangerous secrets-not to mention Ruth Ann's wild venture to grow the influence of the Choctaw Tribune-brew at home as Matthew struggles to piece together the case against Maxwell. Above it all, a talented young Chickasaw woman working for the Tribune may prove to be Matthew's greatest ally...or biggest distraction.A trail of threats and death follow as he risks everything he's built to bring long-awaited justice on the man who wants to wreck Dickens and the Choctaw Tribune-but only if Matthew can outrun his own reckoning first.***About the Choctaw Tribune Historical Fiction series: These books let you explore the old Choctaw Nation with Matthew and Ruth Ann Teller, a Choctaw brother and sister pair who own a newspaper, the Choctaw Tribune.
