Роберт Джеймс Уоллер - все книги по циклам и сериям | Книги по порядку

Among the windswept plains and Sioux reservations of South Dakota exists the all but deserted town of Salamander, pop. 042. Carlisle McMillan, a young drifter from Ca with a Stanford degree and duel passions for carpentry and solitude, finds it as good a place as any to pull off the highway to settle into. — For a small town it has seen it's fair share of controversy. A number of unexplained deaths have occurred on nearby Wolf Butte, a rugged and beautiful place once occupied by the Sioux and still considered sacred ground. The residents are certain that a kind of black magic is to blame.

When Carlisle buys an abandoned house and a few acres of property just east of Wolf Butte the townsfolk think that he's crazy. He is determined to restore the house and in the process meets a wild, gorgeous, enigmatic woman named Susannah.

The steady tick of an aged Regulator wall clock and the squeak of an overhead fan turning slowly are soft but insistent, counting down the night, while the high desert thrums like a half-remembered Victrola song. The sounds are below the consciousness of Winchell Dear, an old-time gambler, a Texas poker player on the southern circuit, as he waits for something . . . something vague that his life of chance tells him is evil and moving his way. He has gassed and oiled the Cadillac and adjusts the pistol in his right boot, then plays one of the six fiddle tunes he knows, thinking back to his good days with Lucinda Miller. Alone, he waits in his remote ranch house, while, just outside, an acquaintance named Luther hunts, unblinking and of nervous temperament and moving through yellow primrose bending in the night wind.
