What happens when a two-headed cowboy, a high school dropout who
longs to be a scholar, and a poet who claims to have been abducted
by aliens come together in 1970's Moab, Utah? The Scholar of Moab,
a dark-comedy perambulating murder, affairs, and cowboy mysteries
in the shadow of the La Sal Mountains.
Young Hyrum Thane, unrefined geological surveyor, steals a
massive dictionary out of the Grand County library in a midnight
raid, startling the people of Moab into believing a nefarious band
of Book of Mormon assassins, the Gadianton Robbers, has arisen
again.
Making matters worse, Hyrum's illicit affair with Dora Tanner, a
local poet thought to be mad, ends in the delivery of a premature
baby boy who vanishes the night of its birth. Righteous Moabites
accuse Dora of its murder, but who really killed their child? Did a
coyote dingo the baby? Was it an alien abduction as Dora claims?
Was it Hyrum? Or could it have been the only witness to the crime,
one of a pair of Oxford-educated conjoined twins who cowboy in the
La Sals on sabbatical?
Take a rollicking ride with Hyrum LeRoy Thane, the Lord's Chosen
Servant and Defender of Moab. His short rich life spans the
borderlands of magical realism where geology, ecology, philosophy
and consciousness collide, in Steven L. Peck's rip-roaring tale The
Scholar of Moab.
