When stagecoaches along the Kiowa Trail become easy prey for a relentless outlaw threat, Black Diamond arrives in Sharpsville to uncover who's orchestrating the raids—and why the attacks seem deliberately timed. Suspicion falls on Injun Tom Ranse, a repeat offender with a history of trouble, but as Black Diamond investigates, he discovers the real culprit may be far closer to home than anyone suspected.
