Synopsis

In The Oklahoma Cowboy Murder Case, Richard Diamond, a savvy private detective, is approached by Clay Baxter, a tall and imposing cattle rancher from Oak Mulgee, Oklahoma. Clay's brother has recently died in what the local sheriff deems an accident—he was thrown from his horse and suffered a fatal skull fracture. However, Clay is not convinced and hires Diamond to uncover the truth behind his brother's death, suspecting that it may have been murder rather than a tragic accident.
