[Unabridged Library Edition Audiobook CD in sturdy Vinyl case.] [Read by Will Collyer] A tale of love and vengeance at the dark dawn of the East Texas oil boom from award-winning novelist Joe Lansdale. Jack Parker thought he'd already seen his fair share of tragedy. His grandmother was killed in a farm accident when he was barely five years old. His parents have just succumbed to the smallpox epidemic sweeping turn-of-the-century East Texas -- orphaning him and his younger sister, Lula. Then catastrophe strikes on the way to their uncles farm, when a traveling group of bank-robbing bandits murder Jacks grandfather and kidnap his sister. With no elders left for miles, Jack must grow up fast and enlist a band of heroes the likes of which has never been seen if his sister has any chance of surviving.
