"Revenge is a dish best served cold."POWER AND GREEDSometimes the two go together. Such is the case when E.W. Thornton decides to use his position as Deputy Sheriff to extort money from businesses in Kirk County, Oklahoma. The more his power increases and the money piles up in his accounts, the more he wants of both. When Sheriff Arlo Stewart disappears, E.W. is made interim Sheriff, and his hold on the county is secured.COMPLICATIONS The more people involved in any scheme, the greater the risks and more numerous the complications. Then Evan Pierce, a young lawyer from the back East arrives in the county. In him, Thornton's victims find an advocate, and with his help, they exact their revenge.CONSEQUENCESAn intelligent man can guess the results of his actions, illegal or otherwise, before he even sets his plans in motion. E.W. Thornton pushes any thought of the consequences of his actions from his mind until it is too late to turn back. Straight ahead is his only option, and he is forced to follow the path he has embarked upon to its logical conclusion.
