Sam Flint is a stubborn, crusty frontier editor, with a passion for helping the underdog, making sure justice is done, and rooting out corruption. He's been chased out of more frontier towns than he remembers. Now, in Payday, Arizona, he's at it again. Payday is an Eden until some newcomers arrive, and then Flint discovers he's up against people who want to own Payday, and everyone in it.
