Publisher's Synopsis
A young man called Adam Flint arrives in America after receiving a letter from a great aunt, leaving him a ranch house and lands after her death. Adam had taken these steps after the loss of his wife to a hit and run driver and his subsequent lapse into a drunken frenzy of drink rather than face the loss and hurt of his wife's death. His worries are about to reach a pace where he wishes at times that he could still reach for the demon drink. He finds that the lands belong to the Indian nation and not him and that a water company wants to build a reservoir in a far valley. They are determined to get their hands on this land by fair means of foul. The land won't be sold to them because the ancient Indian burial ground would be under water and a document signed by Abraham Lincoln would prevent that in the courts if it can be found. Without the document, the courts will hand the land to the water company and thugs hired by them intend that it will not be found.
