Shamans have long told stories of a naturally-occurring mineral
possessing so much healing power it would cost the global
pharmaceutical industry billions in profits if found. A brilliant
but deranged physician covertly discovers a deposit of the stuff
under the ground on old Cody McPherson's ranch in the Black Hills
of South Dakota. The mineral is called montmorillonite, and "Doc"
intends to lay his hands on it at any cost. Cody is murdered in a
remote corner of his 8,400-acre ranch. His horse Boone is the only
witness, and the two murderers go undetected. Hundreds of miles
distant, Tom Larkin leaves Saint Paul, Minnesota on a quest to find
himself, and just maybe save his marriage. Larkin's obsession with
owning the dead rancher's land has set him on a collision course
with the killers. His immediate obsession with Eva, an exotic local
woman, leads Larkin into a passionate alliance that nearly destroys
him and his marriage. Eva has an illegitimate child by Doc, who
coerced her to betray Larkin. Finally, Eva makes a courageous
stand. But did she wait too long? Using information Eva supplied to
them, the killers have laid their trap for Larkin. Now his life is
in play. Larkin breaks the law, his wife's heart and his personal
code of ethics to stay alive. Along the way, he learns the painful
difference between what he covets and what he holds most dear.
Native Ground is a thought-provoking, yet thoroughly delightful
romp through the mystical Black Hills, the erotic adventures of Eva
Shepherd, and Tom Larkin's gut-wrenching journey in search of
meaning in an anything-for-money world.
