The Confidence Man

FAMILY FEUD

The worthless old ghost town had been in the Patchin family for generations, and Liz Patchin had just inherited it. She'd come to Arvada simply because she'd wanted to see Remittance -- but there was nothing simple about that piece of land, and it seemed to be worth more by the minute.

Cliff Gideon -- town hell-raiser -- had left Arvada under a cloud. Fifteen years later he was back, and the town was buzzing. Cliff now claimed Remittance was on Gideon property. What was it worth? Liz's life? And why did she feel safest in the arms of her sworn enemy? Cliff had the answers to a lot of pressing questions -- but he wasn't talking.
