Truth IS Stranger Than Fiction

Buck Surratt is a man trapped by his past. He tries to leave that past behind by crossing the desert and entering a new country, but the old and ancient ways of life dog his trail, and he finds himself ensnared in trouble. Here is Ernest Haycox at his finest telling us a story about a man who wants to change, but circumstances won't let him. Down and disheartened at times, just like any of us would be, still he fights back. To complicate matters Judith Cameron, a Levi wearing woman, has a part to play in this scenario, only Surratt can't figure out what. When bullets in the night come flying past, Surratt knows it is time to kill or be killed--the die has been cast. This is an extraordinary tale told by the master of western historical fiction you should not miss reading or owning for yourself. I enjoyed it very much.
