Produktbeschreibung

"A superb and engrossing novel... Blake [is] one of the best and most original writers in America today." -- Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

James Carlos Blake is a masterful chronicler of the restless, outcast, the lawless, and the lonelyheart. With Red Grass River, he has written a powerful and rousing historical saga of family loyalties, blood feuds, and betrayed friendships; of bank robberies and bootlegging; and of a passionate love as wild at heart as the Everglades.

It is the story of sworn enemies: John Ashley, a criminal and folk hero, the brightest star in a family destined to become the most notorious in south Florida; and Bobby Baker, a lawman born of lawmen, a violent, hard-hearted man driven by the searing memory of past affronts and the enduring hatreds the engendered.

Ashley and Maker will clash many times over many decades. And as the twentieth century encroaches on their worldand the wildlands give grudging way to the rising boomtown of Miamia feral, sensual mating will place one man in gravest peril...while his adversary contrives a dark, personal vengeance that could leave countless liveshis own includedin ruin.
