More about the book

Billy Bob Holland once described the rodeo-cowboy Wyatt Dixon as the most dangerous and unpredictable man he had ever met. After being imprisoned for murder, Dixon is unexpectedly released due to a legal technicality. Meanwhile, Johnny American Horse finds himself in trouble when caught with a weapon, leading him to seek help from Holland, his lawyer. This entangles Holland in a complex battle against Dixon and the government he once served. In this gripping narrative, Billy Bob, having relocated to Montana to practice law after a series of violent confrontations, takes on Johnny's case. Johnny, an activist for land preservation and Native American rights, is accused of murdering two men who had previously threatened him. As Holland investigates, he uncovers a web of intrigue involving Johnny's defiant girlfriend, Amber Finley, a senator's daughter; Darrel McComb, a detective obsessed with Amber; and Seth Masterson, a mysterious government agent whose interest in the case raises alarms. As the situation escalates and danger looms, Billy Bob must confront the truth behind Johnny's arrest while protecting his family from the growing threats. This beautifully crafted novel showcases James Lee Burke's talent for creating vivid characters and a compelling plot, reaffirming his status as a master storyteller.
