Hanging Woman Creek: A Novel
Barnabus Pike is no gunfighter and not much of a street fighter.  Eddie Holt is a black boxer in a white man's world.  They've both taken their share of hard knocks.  Now they're looking to survive a brutal winter in a remote Montana line shack, collect their pay, and settle down for good.  Then they cross paths with a hardworking Irish immigrant and his beautiful, spirited sister, who've been burned off their land.  It's a fight Pike and Holt don't want, don't need, and don't dare turn their backs on--especially when one of the perpetrators might be one of Pike's old friends.  Hunted like animals across the frozen countryside, Pike and Holt will risk everything--including their reputations, their dreams -- and their lives.
