The Old West yielded few urder trials more spectacular - or more misunderstood - thanthat 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 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' little-known second life after prison, when he made and lost fortunes in the mining fields of Nevada.
