Acclaimed creator Joe Lansdale's landmark and mythic story of love and vengeance at the dark dawn of the East Tx oil boom. Jack Parker recognizes all too well how treacherous turn-of-the-century East Tx can be. His parents did not make it through a smallpox epidemic. His grandfather was murdered. Now his sister Lula has been kidnapped by way of a lawbreaker who may believe that wearing a lifeless man's clothes defends them both from death. With bounty hunter Shorty, a charismatic and cunning dwarf, and Eustace, a gravedigging son of any ex-slave, the heartbroken young Jack sets off by using an epic pursuit to save his sister from the corrupt men who control a lot of the new place. Within the throes to be civilized, East Tx is still a crazy, feral place. Essential oil wells spurt liquid money from the ground. But blood and redemption rule supreme.
