The Work of Wolves

A Novel

About this book

This story of a horse trainer and a rich man's wife is "a gorgeously written, exacting exploration of duty and retribution set in dusty rural South Dakota" ( Publishers Weekly ). When fourteen-year-old Carson Fielding bought his first horse from Magnus Yarborough, it became clear the teenager was a better judge of horses than the rich landowner was of humans. Years later, Carson—now a skilled and respected horse trainer—grudgingly agrees to train Magnus's horses and teach his wife to ride. But as Carson becomes disaffected with the power-hungry Magnus, he also grows more and more attracted to the rancher's wife, and their relationship sets off a violent chain of events that unsettles their quiet town in South Dakota. Thrown into the drama are Earl Walks Alone, a Lakota trying to study his way out of the reservation and into college, and Willi, a German exchange student confronting his family's troubled history. Described by Howard Frank Mosher as "the best western-based fiction I've read since Lonesome Dove and Plainsong, " this "compelling" story of love and hatred by the author of Twisted Tree offers "fine characterizations, crisp dialogue and fully realized sense of place" ( The Denver Post ). "Kent Meyers's new novel is the kind of book that demands and rewards fierce loyalty.... I instantly fell under its spell." — The Christian Science Monitor
