The Law of Bitterwater

In Montana Territory in 1876, Sheriff Ruth Calder discovers the creek

running red and miners and children falling ill. As she investigates

the powerful local mining syndicate, Ruth uncovers hazardous dumping,

intimidation of homesteaders, and fraudulent land deals. With a

physician, her deputy, and determined townspeople, she must bring the

truth before the law—and protect Bitterwater's families—before the

company silences them.
