April 1881, Fort Union, New Mexico Territory. A drought-filled spring. The soldiers are restless and bored. Garrison buildings deteriorate, and the ever-present winds wear down the mind.  There's talk of Prairie Madness, a condition leading to depression and violence.

 

Then a soldier is brutally murdered.

 

"Just the  kind of novel I crave --- complex female characters, authentically historical setting, and chilling suspence."  Deborah Blanche, Actor, Writer, Producer. Women of the West, A One Woman Show.
