Murphy came out of the Civil War a bitter, disillusioned man after his family was murdered while he was on the battlefield. He spent years tracking the Army deserters responsible for the death of his family. After he caught up with the last of them, Murphy went to Washington to serve in the Secret Service under President Grant. When Grant's term in office was over, Murphy returned to his native state of Tennessee where he ran for Congress and won a seat in Washington. Called back into service by President Garfield, Murphy resumes his role as Regulator and takes on a top secret assignment. A serial killer is murdering railroad workers and settlers out west. Murphy travels to New Mexico, and using his knowledge of the budding science of forensics, studies ballistics, fingerprints, and victims to track down and stop the killer.

Murphy, the Regulator, returns in All the Queen's Men to face the most complex and deadly challenge of his career...Ranchers across the west report large numbers of cattle stolen. The problem has become so large they refuse to drive their herds to market in the fall. If the cattle industry fails, the stock market will collapse and send the country into a deep recession. The Cattlemen's Association turns to Washington for help and their salvation falls on the shoulders of William Burke, Special Assistant to the President. Murphy, exhausted from months of searching for the woman he loves and the man who violated her, takes temporary refuge at his father's farm in Tennessee. Murphy's rest is short-lived, however, when Burke shows up and calls him back into action. Murphy must find whoever is behind the devastating plot before the first snowfall of winter ends the cattle drive season and plummets the country into a recession.
