Drum's Ring (Thorndike Western II)

After her husband's death, Angie Drum inherited his newspaper, The Opportunity Outlook, and the responsibility of publishing it. She does her best to print the truth but finds herself at odds with the Kansas town's entrepreneurs -including her son, the mayor of Opportunity. Then a prominent Texas rancher commits suicide, just after his team of drovers sold their stock. Covering the story, Angie learns that the Texan was being plagued by personal troubles -and may have also been the victim of extortion from the town's marshal. Now, Angie has decided to publish these allegations which implicates various members of the town's business community. But her quest for the truth may reveal more about her fellow citizens -and her son -than she wants to know. And it may also place her life in jeopardyRichard S.
