Doc Holliday’s paramour Big Nose Kate could never get a publisher to give her the big bucks she demanded to tell the story of her life, but that didn’t mean she didn’t collect material she wanted to use in a biography. Over the fifty years Mary Kate Cummings, alias Big Nose Kate, traversed the West she saved letters from her family, musings she had written about her love interests, and life with the notorious John Henry Holliday. Using rare, never before published material Big Nose Kate stock-piled in anticipation of writing the tale of her days on the Wild Frontier, the definitive book about the famous soiled dove will finally be told. Kate claims to have witnessed the Gunfight at the OK Corral and exchanged words with the likes of Wyatt Earp and Josephine Marcs. There’s no doubt she embellished her adventures, but that doesn’t take away from their historical importance. She was a controversial figure in a rough and rowdy territory. What she witnessed, the lifestyle she led, and the influential western people she met are fascinating and represent a time period much romanticized.
Liz Farrell is still reeling over the murder of her mother almost a year earlier when she receives the startling news that she's inherited her estranged father, Leo Bauer's, sizable estate. Wanting nothing from her late father, Liz and her grandmother, Kate Stanton, reluctantly visit Leo's property in Benedict Canyon, hoping to find closure. Instead, they find a bunker hidden under an old hunting lodge that had been used by Leo at one time as a prison. Horrified by the discovery, Liz immediately orders the bunker filled and the lodge destroyed but the ensuing demolition quickly comes to a grinding halt after a man's remains are discovered in a shallow grave at the base of the old lodge. Once the press get wind of the gruesome discovery, rumors quickly surface, linking the remains to a murder spree that took place at the same address almost half a century earlier; a gruesome murder spree conveniently covered up by the governor at the time who also happened to be Leo Bauer's stepbrother. Liz and Kate's efforts to uncover the truth behind the murders are soon hampered by a cold-blooded killer whose intent on keeping the past buried - even if it means killing everyone standing in the way.
