The African-American bounty hunter, CJ Floyd of Denver, investigates the slaying of a black rodeo rider. One suspect is a jealous white rider, another a woman, a third a speculator who wanted the rodeo rider's land, said to contain diamonds.

"Evan Maitland, antiques salesman and part-time bounty hunter, figures it will be an easy job. Barry McDermott has skipped on bond, and Maitland's been hired to bring him back. McDermott is no hardened criminal -- he's a frightened lawyer charged with statutory rape. What Maitland doesn't know is that McDermott financed his escape with money stolen from the Raetown Jamaican Posse ... and they want him dead."--Amazon.com.
