"Boggs is among the best Western writers at work today. He writes
with depth, flavor, and color." Booklist "Boggs' narrative voice
captures the old-fashioned style of the past." Publishers Weekly
After visiting his late mother's people on the Mescalero
reservation, Comanche tribal policeman Daniel Killstraight waits to
catch a train home when local cowboys bring disturbing news: an
Chiricahua Apache has brutally murdered a teenage girl in the
railroad town of Deming and a bunch of locals plan on lynching him.
Killstraight has no jurisdiction in this territory. He knows
nothing about Deming, the murdered girl, or the accused killer; and
he doesn't really care much for Apaches anyway. Yet, still
heartbroken over the death of his beloved Rain Shower, he is in no
hurry to return home. So he hops on a train to Deming to help a
fellow Indian. However, once he arrives Killstraight learns that
the man in jail isn't really an Apache. Francis Groves, is a
brooding, embittered, binge-drinking white man who had lived with
the Chiricahuas and was known as "Walking Man." He had once been an
excellent tracker who scouted and interpreted for the Army during
the last of the Apache wars, but has had nothing to live for sinceh
is wife and daughter were murdered by Mexican scalp hunters.
Killstraight sets out to prove Groves innocent in a town that hates
Indians and where he has few allies and many enemies all the while
with this thought in the back of his mind: What if Groves is really
guilty? Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of
books for readers interested in fiction that takes place in the old
West. Westerns books about outlaws, sheriffs, chiefs and warriors,
cowboys and Indians are a genre in which we publish regularly. Our
list includes international bestselling authors like Zane Gray and
Louis L'Amour, and many more. While not every title we publish
becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we
are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked
and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
