Epic in scope and inspired by actual people and events in what was Indian Territory - present-day Oklahoma - Black Sun, Killer Moon tells the extraordinary story of escaped slave Silence Reeves. Hoping to find his way north to freedom after killing his master, Silence is scooped up by a tornado and slammed down in Indian Territory, where no white man's law exists, only savages, Silence believes, who will eat his liver. What Silence discovers, however, begins his transformation from forced ignorance to, "A civilized man. A dignified man. An educated man." But also a gunman as he begins the hunt for his adoptive father's killer amid the explosion of post-Civil War crime in Indian Territory. To end the lawlessness, a "hanging judge" is summoned and U.S. Deputy Marshals are appointed. Rangers with the shooting and tracking skills necessary to bring in the worst humanity has to offer - dead or alive. Men with skills like those of Silence Reeves and the astute, ever-insightful Creek leader, Hawk Eyes. But also men like the one who murdered Silence's adoptive father. A clash between Silence and that man becomes inevitable. A mere question of time and place. With a resolution that will leave readers breathless.
