When Mason throws a football game for one hundred thousand dollars, little does he know the chain of events that he has set in motion. He goes to West Texas to the ranch of Raleigh Jones to meet the man who will bring his money, taking with him a female colleague to ensure his own safety. Here Mason and companion Frieda are swept up in the deep passions of the heart as they wait for the stranger from Illinois. In this transcendent story of a man's greed turned charity, Robert Winship weaves his tale with the same fine prose he demonstrated in The Brushlanders. |
