A Spur Award-Winning AuthorIt's not like there was ever much peace and quiet in the city of Corinne. But what there was was shattered one morning when a charwoman walked out onto the balcony above the Promontory Saloon and Pool Hall and screamed. She had discovered a body -- the cut-up, slashed-up, stabbed, and mutilated body of a working girl who rented a room from time to time. Her murder launches an investigation involving the Corinne town marshal, Porter Rockwell; Two Finger Pete, proprietor of the saloon; Harry Caine, traveling salesman and saloon patron; and a high-ranking member of the Mormon Church -- polygamous husband of the murdered woman.
