When Markus Cottin begins digging into some family mysteries his
father tells him he will find "only a chain of fools, each one
worse than the one that came before." His search takes him to
Colorado mining towns, to the Navajo reservation, and around the
desert Four Corners region, and the story he uncovers is a painful
one of race politics and labor unrest in the 1950s West. After he
finds his own family involved in bombings and the murder of a
Navajo miner, he can't stop until the story leads him back, link by
link to his grandfather, his father, and ultimately himself. A
powerful novel of the Southwest, Mine Work is told with feeling and
style by a writer who knows the region, road by dusty road.When
first published in 2000, Mine Work won two coveted Spur Awards from
the Western Writers of America for best original paperback and best
first novel. In multiple printings it became an admired classic of
Western writing.
