About this title

From the Publisher:

Praise for Peter Bowen's previous novel, Thunder Horse:

"Strange, seductive...haunting....The wonder of these voices is that they are...blunt and crude, soaked in whiskey and raspy from laughter, but still capable of leaving echoes." --Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review

"Gloriously unbridled...[Du Pre] resonates with originality and energy." --Chicago Tribune

"Wonderful...wise....Hilarious as the satire often is, what makes these stories so rare is the byplay among the natives." --Washington Post Book World

"[Peter Bowen is] a terrific writer....Thunder Horse makes this reviewer want to race to the bookstore for the rest of the Gabriel Du Pre series....Bowen's Montana setting has the clear cool ring of the authentic." --Rocky Mountain News

"As memorable as the truly surprising plot is the author's writing style, as terse and spare as the story's Montana setting." The Sunday Portland Oregonian

About the Author:

Peter Bowen, a Montanan, writes of the West. Cowboy, hunting and fishing guide, folksinger, poet, essayist, and novelist, he's written the picaresque Yellowstone Kelly historical novels, humor columns and essays on blood sports as Coyote Jack, and the Gabriel Du Pre mysteries, in part because "the Metis are a great people, a wonderful people, and not many Americans know anything about them."
