Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Appaloosa Elim is a man who knows his place. On a good day, he's content with it. Today is not a good day. Today, his so-called 'partner' - that lily-white lordling Sil Halfwick - has ridden off west for the border, hell-bent on making a name for himself in native territory. And Elim, whose place is written in the bastard browns and whites of his cow-spotted face, doesn't dare show up home again without him. The border town called Sixes is quiet in the heat of the day. Still, Appaloosa Elim has heard the stories about what wakes at sunset: gunslingers and shapeshifters and ancient animal gods whose human faces never outlast the daylight. If he ever wants to go home again, he'd better find his missing partner before they do. But if he's caught out after dark, Elim risks succumbing to the old and sinister truth in his own flesh - and discovering just how far he'll go to survive the night.

Revue de presse :

'This author can really write. If you loved Stephen King's Dark Tower series - or even if you're a hardened Cormac McCarthy fan - you will find this book right inside your wheelhouse. Living, witty dialogue, and a familiar-yet-strange world inhabited by vivid characters. I loved it. And I don't say that about a book very often.' --Paul Kearney author of The Ten Thousand, Hawkwood and Kings, A Different Kingdom.

'When young Sil Halfwick's attempt to sell horses ends in abject failure, he...heads west toward Sixes, near the border of lands emptied of white settlers by war and invasion. It falls to Appaloosa Elim a mixed-race man who's older, wiser, and scorned by Sil to try to keep the ambitious young idiot alive...Thompson's debut is clearly written and engaging' --Publisher's Weekly
