Reseña del editor
A historical work based on true crimes that took place in late nineteenth-century Kansas takes place in the frontier town of Cottonwood, where a family of serial killers known as The Bloody Benders takes advantage of local corruption and vice in order to pursue their deadly causes. By the author of The Ice Harvest and The Walkaway.
Nota de la solapa
In his New York Times notable debut, The Ice Harvest, Scott Phillips gave readers an instant noir classic that spanned twenty-four eventful hours in the life of a mob lawyer hoping to skip town (namely Wichita) with a small fortune. Phillips followed with the acclaimed sequel, The Walkaway, showing how a seeming windfall can wreak wicked havoc on the lives of its recipients. Now this award-winning author broadens his canvas, writing his most accomplished novel yet—one that is rich in suspense, drama, historical sweep, and Phillips’s unique blend of unforgettable characters.
In 1872, Cottonwood, Kansas, is a one-horse speck on the map; a community of run-down farms, dusty roads, and two-bit crooks. Self-educated saloon owner and photographer Bill Ogden looks on his adopted town with an eye to making a profit or getting out. His brains and ambition bring him to the attention of one Marc Leval, a wealthy Chicago developer with big plans for the small town. The advent of the railroad and rumors of a cattle trail turn Cottonwood into a wild and wooly boomtown—and with Leval as a partner, Ogden dreams of bringing civilization to the prairie.
But civilizing the Great Plains was never that simple. While many in Cottonwood distrust Leval’s motives, and mob violence threatens to derail the town’s dreams of greatness, Ogden finds himself dangerously obsessed with Leval’s stunningly beautiful wife. Meanwhile, plying its sinister trade unnoticed, an apparently ordinary local farm family quietly butchers traveling salesmen, weary travelers, and other unsuspecting wanderers.
In his own inimitable brand of narrative wizardry, Scott Phillips traces the metamorphosis of a frontier town that becomes a lightning rod for sin, corruption, and murder. He also brings to life actual crimes that befell Kansas in the 1870s and 1880s, carried out by a strange clan who popularly became known as The Bloody Benders. Brilliantly written, maliciously fun, and full of many surprises, Cottonwood is historical fiction at its finest.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Ballantine Books, New York NY. First Edition. First Printing. Tightly bound, not price clipped, not remaindered. Phillip's third novel, a break from his noir classics set in Wichita, is the story of Bill Ogden who homesteads in western Kansas with his wife and son, but discovers that running a saloon and photography business is more to his liking. When he discovers his wife is in an affair with the handyman running his farm, it's no problem for Bill as it releases his over-active libido on the women of Cottonwood. But a dalliance with the wrong woman leads to violence and a quick escape west for Bill, but his return decades later to Cottonwood reveals a new Bill. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 3212
