Lives intertwine in a snarled web of deceit, seduction, greed and murder. On a sweltering night in 1895, Pinkerton Detective Earl Buchanan witnesses Orville Devey murder his friend George Hutchinson. Buchanan vows to take Devey dead or alive. He tracks Devey to Chicago where Orville Devey, Sam Telfer and Thomas Trimble align themselves in the illegal White Slave Trade. A dead body, purported to be that of Orville Devey, turns up in an alley behind a brothel. Buchanan now must travel to Red Oak, Iowa to unravel the tangled motives and keep his word.
