In "Betty Bates," the beautiful young district attorney investigates a murder connected to the secret of three mysterious stone dogs, uncovering a plot involving wealthy Benjamin Reese's nephew Richard and a family secret tied to the enigmatic stone dog statues.
Jeb Rivers finds himself drawn into the shadowy world of Major Thraill, an ambitious man plotting to carve out his own empire in the heart of America, when he and his young partner Catfish arrive in the troubled town of St. Dunstan. Forced aboard Thraill's steamer and offered a position as lieutenant in this grand but dangerous scheme, Jeb must navigate the twisted waters of the Mississippi and uncover what this enigmatic criminal truly has in mind. With liberty and countless lives hanging in the balance, Jeb and Catfish race to stop Thraill's mad ambitions before they can take root.
When District Attorney Betty Bates purchases a seemingly worthless stone dog at an auction of the late Benjamin Reese's collection, she stumbles onto a dangerous mystery—someone will kill to possess all three statues. Following a desperate criminal through the night, Betty risks everything to uncover what makes these Oriental artifacts worth far more than anyone realized.
