"In this standalone sequel to The Big Drift-winner of five awards including the Spur Award of Western Writers of America-Patrick Dearen explores race relations against the backdrop of the Big Dry, a devastating drought in the 1880s in Texas. Zeke Boles, a Black cowhand, awaits hanging in North Texas for a murder he didn't commit. His white friend Will Brite, with whom he rode in the Big Drift blizzard, has exhausted virtually all avenues to get Zeke exonerated. Will's only hope is to set out for the faraway Devils River to find the actual culprit, a man with a missing finger. But Will has his own legal issues. He has married Jessie, a young woman of mixed race who often passes for white, and a grand jury is sure to return an indictment of miscegenation that could land Will in prison. Ride along with Will and his friend Arch Brannon as they join a cattle drive through a searing land between the Devils and Pecos rivers. This trail through a corner of hell is destined to be marked with carcasses and a lonely grave, but at its end lies the only hope for tomorrow"--
