A stirring, provocative novel of the American Northwest in the
1920s, written with the same buoyant vigor, the sharp
characterization, and the pungent wisdom that captivated readers of
H.L. Davis' great Pulitzer Prize winning novel, Honey In The Horn
H.L. Davis' captivating novel is narrated by Amos Clarke who
recounts back to thirty years when he was barely twenty and was a
hot-headed young sheriff's assistant. For Amos, it is one
experience that stands out the most for him during his time spent
as a sheriff's deputy. While delivering a summons, Amos stumbles
upon a shooting that at first appears to be accidental. Busick, a
ranch hand, has killed an old Indian. Amos takes Busick into
custody. An open-and-shut case of manslaughter, Busick is tried and
gets off. But when Busick decides to give up his rights to a small
patch of grazing land, the sheriff instructs Amos to round up
Busick's horses and lead them up to public pasture with the help of
Hendricks, an old man who was looking after them. As Amos and
Hendricks head north with the horses, they find themselves on the
hunt for a murderer when a wealthy rancher who was married to one
of Hendricks' daughters is shot dead. Their search for a killer
proves to be an epiphany for both men-and for Amos, this
fascinating journey will forever change him.
