A Confluence of Enemies

In Wanee, water is scarce and rumors are lethal.

Cora Countryman runs the Countryman House boardinghouse to keep her debts at bay and her independence intact. When a dead lawman is pulled from a feeder stream, disease and rage race through Railtown and Wanee.

To contain it, Cora and the town’s restless newspaperman, Sebastian Kanady, stumble into a tangle of rusted loyalties: a hired rainmaker who courts the desperate, trustees who hoard wells, and a war-scarred past hidden beneath a polite veneer. When rumors harden into accusations, and Kanady falls ill, Cora determines to solve the killing, no matter the danger to her. Not from disease, drought, or dreadful secrets, but from the men who would stop her.
