The Burlington Northern was speeding through Iowa when passengers spotted six Indians riding alongside in pick-ups. Suddenly, they began firing pot-shots, a bullet pierced the dining car window--and millionaire Harold Chaney was dead. When railroad detective Jake Hatch met the train at Osceola, the Indians were already in custody.

There was Chaney's brilliant, bitter business partner. A hotly contested takeover bid. Plus an emerald ring that led to two mistresses, a straying wife, and one very angry daughter. With so many fine suspects, Hatch needed hard evidence fast--before the Indians got railroaded into prison, and someone got away with murder!
