Description

Second printing In 1868 the big cattle drives are just starting to come through Kansas from Texas. Small settlements along way will benefits and also witness disasters from the herds of longhorn cattle. Ellen Hargrove lives in a Sumner County settlement on the edge of Indian Territory. It is here a businessman has been brutally murdered. Not only does Ellen find the body, but within days, she believes James Montgomery committed the crime. But how to convince anyone? Her knowledge isn't based on evidence, but rather on her own clairvoyant visions. Ellen has always been troubled by psychic occurrences and tries to deny her precognition, just as she did the previous autumn when she foresaw her husband's death by drowning. She has returned home to live with her parents and decide what to do with her life, certain she could have done something to prevent her husband's death. Now, with conflicting images, and only bits of information strewn in dreams and visions, she hesitates, unsure of herself. More murders come to light, and Ellen's second sight about James Montgomery becomes too real to ignore. As the spring is punctuated by turbulent Kansas weather, Ellen feels obligated to prove what she senses. She searches for clues so she can convince U.S. Marshal Stamford that what she "sees" is true. Or maybe it isn't. Perhaps Reed Carter, the gambler who is courting her, is more involved in the area cattle rustlings than she thinks.
