A short time after Paul Lander marries Two Moons and opens his gun shop in Fort Collins, someone begins stirring up trouble against him for being a 'squaw-man.' The County Commissioners, headed by Ben Evans, are outraged when the Landers' house is burned down. The arsonists are caught, and the decision is made to appoint a Town Marshal. Paul is chosen with Jeb Pelletier as his Deputy. Controversy continues to swirl around Paul's appointment as Marshal, instigated by new resident Nicholas Dunn. His motives remain a mystery until the two arsonists are shot dead by hidden snipers, and Dun's true identity is revealed. Violence increases as the Marshals are ambushed, leaving Jeb hanging between life and death. The Pelletiers come down from the canyon bent on helping Paul get to the bottom of the mystery. What takes shape is a ring of conspiracy, a scorpion whose stinger is in Larimer County, and the head half a nation away. A scorpion that is about to be crushed under the Pelletiers' boots. Note: Formerly titled We Never Back Down, published by Bottom of the Hill Publishing. The rewritten and enhanced novel is now published by Double Diamond Books under the title Ring of Conspiracy.
