This is the first of a series of current-day murder mysteries featuring LA detective Drew Steele IV (the great great grandson of the famous Civil-War era detective). In this novel, Steele is still recovering from life-threatening injuries he suffered from an al-Qaeda IED explosion while he was working as a private contractor for "The Company" in Iraq. His legs were severely damaged and the doctors were forced to remove his left foot to save his life. They said he'd never walk again, but with the help of a high-tech prosthetic foot, he proved them wrong. Although he walks with a limp, don't call him a cripple; he's still one of the most sought-after and successful detectives in LA.

In this novel, Steele is working on a new case that starts out as a typical missing-person search for a walk-away Las Vegas casino boss. But the case turns strange and dangerous when the missing man turns up dead with a startling warning message burned into his forehead. When the autopsy finds a grisly surprise in the dead man's stomach, Steele suspects it was put there to suggest the murder is connected to the international drug trade and a mysterious LA criminal hideout that the police are not allowed to go into. But who are the clues intended for?

This novel has surprises at every turn: suspects who end up dead, a killer who is both smart and ruthless, an amazing white-knuckled car chase and shootout through LA traffic, and a beautiful woman who seems willing to go beyond being merely helpful, but may know more about the murders than she is saying.

This murder mystery is set in the American West during the traumatic post-Civil War period. It begins when San Francisco detective Drew Steele is hired by newspaperman John Rudd to go to the Arizona territory to try to find a long-lost Spanish land grant that is rumored to cover the entire Arizona territory. What at first seems like a routine investigation, turns out to be an adventure that threatens to cost Steele his life. He confronts hired killers, marauding Indians, and a beautiful young woman who is unwilling to take no for an answer.

This fast-paced story has more twists and turns than a runaway river in flood stage: a mysterious Chinese whore house at the edge of town that nobody will admit ever visiting, a treasure map that is supposed to lead to gold but actually leads only to a deadly trap, and a famous Apache warrior who is feared by everyone, but who may be Steele's only hope.
