She was the golden lady every man desired...including a killer.
Serena flees the Mormon wagon train led by fanatical Elder Greer, but nearly dies alone on the prairie. It's Nathan Benedict who finds her and takes her aboard his private railroad car bound for the Cripple Creek gold camp. She is drawn to the handsome gambler--though he expects more from her for his rescue than mere gratitude.
Installed at Nathan's gaming house, Serena quickly becomes the toast of the boom town, celebrated far and wide for her golden-heeled slippers. Life is cheap in the high-country gold camp, however, especially the lives of women generous with their favors; no one seems to notice when "parlor girls" begin to die one by one. Will the town and Nathan stand beside Serena when she confronts this menace?
