The stunning new novel from the author of international
million-copy bestseller Cold Mountain Hurtling past the downtrodden
communities of Depression-era America, painter Val Welch travels
westward to the rural town of Dawes, Wyoming. Through a stroke of
luck, he’s landed a New Deal assignment to create a mural
representing the region for their new Post Office. A wealthy art
lover named John Long and his wife Eve have agreed to host Val at
their sprawling ranch. Rumors and intrigue surround the couple: Eve
left behind an itinerant life riding the rails and singing in a
western swing band. Long holds shady political aspirations, but was
once a WWI sniper—and his right hand is a mysterious elder
cowboy, a vestige of the violent old west. Val quickly finds
himself entranced by their lives. One day, Eve flees home with a
valuable painting in tow, and Long recruits Val to hit the road
with a mission of tracking her down. Journeying from ramshackle
Hoovervilles to San Francisco nightclubs to the swamps of Florida,
Val's search for Eve narrows, and he soon turns up secrets that
could spark formidable changes for all of them.
