"Fast-paced and as big as the land it rides through . .
. filled with rugged characters who resonate with the sounds and feeling of the
true West. A remarkable debut novel . . ."—Andrew Smith, author, The
Marbury Lens, Ghost Medicine, Winger, and Stick.
Overview (by Jolly Fish Press):
Even among his small town neighbors, Jim is a content man.
Despite the emotional baggage from his time serving in Desert Storm, he
successfully runs a ranch, owns several beautiful horses, and makes extra cash
as a wilderness guide for wealthy tourists. He's a modern-day cowboy. That is,
until he runs into an ongoing mob-hit while riding in the mountains. Now, his
most beloved horse is bleeding to death, three mobsters are dead from his
smoking gun, and a wounded criminal is begging for his help. Jim has to make a
decision. He can either high-tail it out of there, or accept a tempting offer
made by the criminal—a promise of millions in stolen mafia cash for any help he
gives. Of course, only an idiot would turn down such an appealing offer when
they’re marked for death anyway. Besides, Jim’s good nature cannot allow him to
leave someone for dead, even a criminal. Soon, Jim finds himself on a trip to
retrieve a truckload of stolen money near the Las Vegas strip, right under the Mafia’s
nose. But even if they escape with the cash, will Jim’s conservative neighbors
provide sanctuary for their local Samaritan, and how far will the mafia go for
revenge?
