Excerpt from Duke
He wore an old felt hat over one eye, a faded and shiny suit of blue serge, a high linen collar two sizes too large for his sinewy throat, and brown shoes that were not new. He carried a leather valise of English make, which, like its owner, had travelled a great deal in questionable company, was a little worn and some what pinched.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the experiences of Marmaduke Cuthbert Ming, a world-travelled adventurer, as he arrives in a town along the frontier of western Canada in the early 20th century. Ming's initial experiences of theft, violence, and general debauchery leave him unimpressed, but he soon finds himself part of a group of land speculators plotting to boost property prices with rumors of an impending railway expansion. As Ming navigates the unscrupulous world of land deals and drunken debauchery, he encounters a fascinating cast of characters including Curtis, a perpetually hungover real estate agent, Borowdell, a boisterous and optimistic fellow, and Acland, a greedy and suspicious merchant. Through its lively prose, the book provides a glimpse into the dynamics of small-town life at the cusp of change. It explores the themes of ambition, the transformative power of the railroad, and the dubious morals of land speculation, capturing the spirit of a time and place defined as much by its bravado as its uncertainty.
