A brutal murder. A community shocked. A suspect proclaiming his innocence. To the homesteaders in this untamed land of Dakota Territory, what affected one of them affected all of them. And the motive shook them to their core.

As the years slipped into decades and then into a new century, new questions arose, spurred by the unusual placement of a grave in a country cemetery. Who was this woman and why was she buried so far away from the others? So lonely.

An investigation by the author opened the doors that led to the answers to multiple questions that family members of the victim and killer had been asking for years.

The true story of an old murder that still makes people gasp and the continuing compassion of a community that never stopped caring.

In addition to a riveting story of a homicide in the old West from more than a century ago, the book includes courtroom drama and also examines the conditions and stresses that contributed to violence in the pioneer days.

Speck, Sue: - Award winning journalist Sue Speck covered many high profile trials as a television reporter in Houston, Texas, but she found a murder mystery equally as compelling in the tiny South Dakota cemetery where her family has visited the graves of relatives for decades. She heard about the murder when she was young because her father grew up a few miles from where the brutal killing happened, albeit several decades later. While he didn't know details about the case, the 92-year-old gentleman was able to help guide her to the answers. In addition to working in TV news, Sue Speck also worked in Chicago as a writer and editor for an international news service.
