Beartooth
by Callan Wink
Two broke brothers in Montana take a job poaching antlers from Yellowstone. It is a bad idea and they know it.
Buy the book
Their father is dead, the taxes are due, and a man called the Scot has an offer that will either save the property or end them.
Publisher's blurb
Synopsis
Wink writes a lean modern western: a burned-over landscape, a debt that cannot be paid honestly, and a wilderness crossing that turns from work into ordeal. The brothers' loyalty is the only thing the novel treats as sacred, and it is tested on every page.
The editorial feature
Short and hard and very well made. The nature writing is the opposite of decorative - every ridge and creek is a logistical problem - and the last forty pages move like a held breath.
