Eminent Murder

Clayton Longley, a successful businessman,
returns to his hometown when his family's cattle
ranch is threatened by a contrived eminent domain
claim. The local political clique, former
schoolmates of Clay's, has a land grabbing
heritage. To complicate matters, Clay
encounteres his old love, now married to one of
his adversaries.
He fights back with his own brand of defense - or
is it old-fashioned frontier justice. After all, the
Longleys are distant relatives of the famous Texas
outlaw Wild Bill Longley. Clayton has to cope with
the bad blood of his own heritage, and a secret he
can never share.
This is a thriller set in Byar County, Texas,
complete with longhorns, a Texas Ranger, modern
outlaws, guns, aircraft, and the men who wear
white hats.
