The Wild West was more than cowboys; it was also the raucous and unfettered railroad settlements that followed the tracks.

"Public respectability does not always translate into tidy private lives, and our interest in the bad behavior of the rich and famous will never be satisfied. Former Denver Post reporter Dick Kreck takes us back in Colorado's history and shows us that the foibles of people - rich or poor - remain the same. Included are socialites such as Louise Sneed Hill, who created and ruled over Denver's "Sacred 36" circle of society; Jane Tomberlin, who met and fell in love with a "prince" in an elevator at the Brown Palace Hotel; Irene Nolan, who cavorted late into the night with her family priest; and prominent Denver clubman Courtland Dines, who was wounded during a frolic with two silent-screen stars in his Hollywood apartment. Rich People Behaving Badly exposes the scandals murders, infidelities, financial misdeeds, and just plain misbehavior from Colorado's past"--

Set in old Denver, this true tale--worthy of a "Law and Order" episode--is as gripping today as it was when it happened in 1911. "Foreword writer Tom Noel proclaims, "Hollywood murder mystery writers could not have contrived a thriller as chilling as this factual account."
