A shot in the dark...
O'Connor, a lone wanderer of the plains, finds himself rescuing an old man and his daughter from being driven out of their frontier town, Stampede, by land-grabbers.
The Sorensen family duo have been circulating a newspaper around the settlement since they arrived.
They are eager to raise the profile of Kiowa rights to land, but it also lead to them ruffling the feathers of those who would rather the truth remain hidden.
Murder, corruption, mutiny and greed all come up against the fight for truth, justice, diplomacy and peace.
O'Connor has blood links to the Kiowa tribe, but is that enough for trust to be built between them?
Will the Kiowa and the white man fight against each other in the end, or side by side?
Can peace be restored to Stampede County before more heads stop lead?
Stampede County is a gritty, atmospheric western that would be perfect for fans of Zane Grey and Larry McMurty.
