Cherokee

Acclaimed western storyteller Giles Tippette delivers a truly exciting novel of family pride and frontier violence . . .As boss of the Half-Moon ranch, the biggest along the Gulf Coast of Texas, Justa Williams is a chip off the old man's block. But when the old man ups and asks him for a dying man's favor, it's Justa' s duty to honor his words. Even if that means taking $25,000 of company gold and riding blind into the blood-soaked Cherokee battleground of Oklahoma Territory-to look for a man who may not even be alive and settle an old score. Odds are high things won't end up well, but son of a gun, at least this son knows how to point his and fire off bullet after bullet . . .Now, will a son pay for his father's past-in blood?Praise for Giles Tippette and The Bank Robbers"e;Like True Grit . . . a small masterpiece . . . brilliantly written."e;-Newark News"e;Spine-jarring, bullet-biting intensity."e;-Houston Post"e;Tough, gutsy, and fascinating."e;-NY Newsday"e;Impressive authenticity."e;-Booklist"e;His fiction is taught and gripping."e;-Houston Spectator
