Plot summary
Paradise, Arizona, is a resort town where land deals have enriched a handful of people, and the mayor and sheriff know about the schemes. Victor, a Native American, decides the wealthy owe him for land that was taken, and he sets out to extort them. Two local police officers die by his crossbow, and a note follows: the town's millionaires must pay a million dollars within a day. Chief Haliburton turns to businessman William Whitaker, and the two agree to keep the demand quiet, fearing publicity would expose the land frauds. They bring in Nick McCormick, a private security investigator, who tells them to pay. Paradise counts more millionaires than any other American town, and most of them back the payment.
