A tense, modern Western with a gritty feel, Black River tells the story of a man marked by a prison riot as he returns to the town, and the convict, who shaped him. It’s hard to believe this novel is a debut, the prose and plot is nuanced and evocative. I saw it referred to as a “western of unusual depth” and that’s a good prescription. This is another novel that will stick with you for a long time.
