A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Clay Westbrook, a cowhand on a Wyoming ranch in the 1890s, runs into trouble when he sticks up for a Mexican sheepherder. Tony Campos is being bullied by a rancher named Sutton, who tells Clay he has just bought himself a good bunch of trouble. Clay maintains his friendship with the Mexicans, much to the dislike of Sutton and others, and he develops a romantic interest in Tony’s niece, Guadalupe. Before long, Clay finds himself without a job and is harassed by Sutton and his men, who burn down his homesteader’s shack and sabotage his outfitting camp. Clay then discovers that Sutton has designs on Clay’s homestead and plans to cut a ditch project across the land. It is up to Clay to thwart the plan and stop the retribution at the same time that he pursues his courtship of the lovely Guadalupe. “Another excellent work from the author of the acclaimed One-Eyed Cowboy Wild.” ~ Booklist “Increasingly sensitive and human, Clay Westbrook is very much a hero for our time.” ~ Western American Literature “Nesbitt demonstrates himself a skilled wrangler of detail and character.” ~ Publishers Weekly
