The Boundary Man Forty Feet West, Book 1, (Paperback)

A widow's eastern boundary line has moved forty feet west. The corrected survey<br>is properly filed, the filing agent licensed, the paperwork in order. Nora<br>Vane's irrigation ditch - the one that waters her south field - now belongs to<br>the Creston Land Cooperative, which acquired the adjacent parcel six months ago. <p>Ward Colton arrives in Creel, New Mexico Territory, with a folder, a field<br>compass, and the kind of patience that makes dishonest men uncomfortable. He is<br>not looking for violence. He is looking for the first place the record stopped<br>being true. </p><p>What he finds in the Holt County filing index is not one fraudulent survey. It<br>is a pattern - small, unhurried, nearly invisible to anyone who doesn't know<br>what ink was commercially available in the territory in the fall of 1881. The<br>Creston Land Cooperative has been acquiring water access across the Meridian<br>Fork corridor one corrected boundary at a time, and the people who filed the<br>paperwork knew exactly what they were doing. </p><p>Forty Feet West is a quiet thriller set in the world of territorial land<br>records - where the real weapon is a notary seal and the most dangerous man in<br>the county is the one with a licensed surveyor on retainer.</p>
