The Grass Remembers: A Circuit Rider Mystery - Book 10

By Jim Head

Three years after hired guns rode into Johnson County, nobody was convicted. The ground still knows what happened. So does the man who made sure a new crime looked like an old one.

Johnson County, Wyoming. April 1892. The Wyoming Stock Growers Association loaded fifty Texas gunmen onto a private train and sent them north to eliminate small ranchers. Two men were killed. Three hundred locals surrounded the Invaders at the TA Ranch. The Army came - and saved the hired guns. The charges were dropped. Nobody went to prison.

Three years later, small rancher Abel Cord is found dead in Buffalo Creek. The community's eyes go straight to Denton Hale - one of the Invaders who never left Wyoming. It's the obvious answer. It's wrong.

Reverend Elias Cane rides into a county where every instrument of justice failed once and the wound has never closed, and finds a murder designed to hide inside that wound. Abel Cord had found a land fraud running quietly under the surface of Johnson County for six years - homesteads stolen on paper, deed by deed, while the world was looking at the war. Three days before he could take what he'd found to Cheyenne, someone pushed him into the creek.

The ground holds what the courts wouldn't.
