About This Book

Two itinerant cowboys arrive at a struggling ranch and become embroiled in a local tangle that includes an inept cook, a surly owner, and a yard full of stolen tombstones from a nearby graveyard. As they hear stories about a dour rancher and his grim associate, they move through a series of encounters with eccentric townsfolk, jokes, and petty feuds. The episodic narrative mixes dry humor and frontier detail while the pair seeks work, navigates communal grudges, and helps untangle the practical and social problems that have unsettled the neighborhood.
