Summary
Creek Marshal Service field office in Sedalia, Missouri. Norville Smelts robbed the Central Bank in Sedalia, and killed the bank president during his escape.
Following a tip, Creek went to the Missouri Training School for Girls and questioned Smelts’ daughter. During the interview, Creek discovered that some of the girls in the facility were being molested. After reporting the abuse to the circuit judge, Creek and Lorrie took Lily Smelts into their home to raise. Lily had no relationship with her natural father and used her mother’s maiden name of Middleton.
Lily attended nursing school, served with the Red Cross nurses in France, and came back to apply for and be accepted as a Deputy U.S. Marshal. Lily was assigned to protect a federal judge and killed two men who tried to kidnap him.
Creek had his own problems during Prohibition and survived an assassination attempt. Both Creek and Lily are thrown into the violence of the bootlegging enterprise, and both have to fight for their very survival.
