Half a Pig and Other Frontier Stories

"Inside, youll find the lynching-inspired Spur Award finalist title story, Half a Pig; the bone-cold, eye-for-an-eye drama of Will Rogers Medallion Award-winning Peaches; the clanking, clockwork gundown of Peacemaker Award finalist Scourge of the Spoils; and numerous other critically acclaimed short stories, including the noir-tinged pages of Snows of Montana and Snake Farm. Theres the classic Western barroom showdown in Just Once, the time-travel nightmare of Been a Long Time, and the brutal hunter/hunted chase novella Bloodline. The freaky shamans subterranean rituals in The Witch Hole rival the grim comeuppance of a truly bad seed in Pay the Ferryman. And then theres the mysterious journal of the gritty disappearance of an inveterate rover in Lucky Tam ... and so much more. But wait! Theres also an eyebrow-raising stack of five bold and brassy adventures of that silent, noble loner, Roamer, and his jug-hoisting mentor, crusty mountain man, Maple Jack, including the heretofore unpublished Trouble at Tall Pine."--"--
