Produktbeschreibung

Lower Missouri River, late summer, 1835, two brothers, fur trappers Zebadiah and Jonathan Creed are bushwhacked, their beaver pelts stolen. Jonathan is murdered and Zebadiah left for dead. Found by a Quaker doctor and his daughter Anna, they nurse Zeb back to health and insist he stay. Anna's fresh desires and a dream of a peaceful life cannot quell his burning for revenge and Zeb sets out to find Rudy and Baumgartner, the two men who killed his brother. Through Billy Frieze, a dubious traveling companion, Zeb's search leads to Frenchy, a St. Louis bordello owner who delves out justice using wolverines. In St. Louis Zeb learns of conspiracy within the American Fur Company and a personal web of deceit, drawing him to New Orleans - under the spell of Madame Sophie le Roux. With Rudy dead, Zeb kills Baumgartner with the help of Sophie's half-brother, a freed black man. Zeb must pay back his debt, involving him in two vendettas, rescuing stolen slaves, and an epic love triangle stretching across decades and the length of the Mississippi River. > Written in his own words, Zebadiah Creed spins an exciting tale that leads us by steamboat down the Great Mississippi to St. Louis and on to New Orleans, where Zeb finds revenge is never as simple as killing a man, where retribution and redemption are not the same.
