Thea Barlow, Chicago native and newly minted editor for the city's Western True Adventures magazine, is on her first assignment: prove her worth by getting the story of Halfway Halt, a defunct whorehouse in Hijax, Wyoming.
Upon arrival in Hijax, Thea is met with hostility. Assuming Thea is the "new girl" for the whorehouse, the townsfolk do not want the old days revived or their secrets revealed.
Then a local woman is murdered and the present owner of Halfway Halt is found unconscious in an old building. Now Thea must dig deep to unravel the mysteries of Halfway Halt if she's to get the story... and survive.
