“The education to which Thomas Cobb’s eager young soldier is forced to submit combines such wisdom, pain, suspense, and nasty good humor that I simply couldn’t read this book fast enough. Of course I didn’t know what a ‘shavetail’ was when I began, but learning that was only part of the education I was treated to. Guilt and innocence, blood and tenderness—I can’t imagine any reader who could resist.”

Rosellen Brown, New York Times bestselling author of Before and After

Thomas Cobb's second novel is a "thoughtful Western" (Publishers Weekly) based on the actual events of the Camp Grant massacre. The year is 1871, and a 17-year-old runaway named Ned Thorne has just joined Captain Robert Franklin at the Camp Grant outpost located at the edge of Arizona's Chiricahua mountains. When a nearby farmhouse is raided and a woman kidnapped by renegade Apaches, the men's mettle is severely tested as they confront the brutality of life in the West.
