"Suspense and retribution fill the pages of this novel." Modesto BeeIt's St. Louis in 1900, a city over-run with corrupt politicians profiting from gambling, prostitution, and bribes. Years ago, the political machine framed Grant Monroe's father for murder. Now Grant is back from Cuban exile to get his well-planned revenge. There's just one hitch: he's fallen in love with his arch-enemy's daughter.
