The Delafield Affair

Across a sun-struck New Mexican plain, thirsty cattle stagger toward the only water, and ranch hand Curtis Conrad worries over a calf that may not survive the day. Then a letter arrives bearing the names of Sumner L. Delafield’s attorneys.

At Socorro Springs ranch, drought makes every blade of grass precious and every decision urgent. A visit from Aleck and Lucy Bancroft brings a welcome breeze of warmth and wit—but the letter stirs Curtis’s long-buried grievance against Delafield, the financier whose actions ruined his family. Curtis is determined to answer that wrong, though the bonds of friendship and the life he has made in New Mexico may complicate his purpose. What has Delafield’s message put within Curtis’s reach, and what will it cost him to take it?
