Synopsis: "The simmering resentments of a recently quelled Apache uprising were still evident. A corrupt band of white contractors and freighters known as the Ring had been stealing from the government and the Indians for years. A renegade named Geronimo was carving a reputation for ferocity and hatred that frightened Apaches and white men alike. And at the center of it all was the Indian Reservation at San Carlos, Arizona. Into this volatile cauldron of mistrust and corruption walked John Clum as the new Indian agent. Young and inexperienced, a tenderfoot from the East, he seemed overmatched by the problems he faced, and no one expected him to solve them.
