Synopsis

The Old West yielded few murder trials more spectacular ­ or more misunderstood ­ than that of "Diamondfield" Jack Davis. After near brushes with the noose and after years of legal maneuvering, Davis was pardoned ­ though many people continued to believe him guilty. Max Black has spent years researching the Diamondfield saga and found startling new evidence never before uncovered ­ including the weapon and one of the bullets involved in the crime ­ and now sets out the definitive story, about how Davis wasn't and couldn't have been the killer ­ and about who was. And he tells the story of Davis' little­known second life after prison, when he made and lost fortunes in the mining fields of Nevada.
