Description

Set in the lawless territory of the American West, Winding Stair is a gripping historical novel that brings to life a bygone era. In 1890, Fort Smith, Arkansas, serves as a haven of justice over thousands of square miles known as the Indian Nation.

A young attorney, Eben Pay, arrives in the territory and becomes embroiled in a murder investigation when a woman is found dead. The trail of blood and destruction leads to the discovery of a survivor, Jennie Thrasher, who has witnessed something traumatic. As the investigation unfolds, the question of what she saw hangs over the case like a storm cloud.

The trial and courtroom drama that follow are expertly woven into a narrative that vividly captures the spirit of the American West during this tumultuous period in history.
