About the Book

With their exceptional characterizations, evocative setting, and smartly plotted mysteries, Peter Bowen's Montana novels have always fascinated readers and critics alike. In "The Stick Game, "Bowen's lyrical, spare writing carries us once again to a part of the country few of us know much about. The latest installment in this unique series finds amateur sleuth and cattle rancher Gabriel Du Pre uncovering the dirty secrets of an industrial gold mine and searching for a troubled teenage boy. At a trading fair in rural Montana, Du Pre and his longtime love Madelain run into Jeanne now worries about the disappearance of her sixteen-year-old son, Danny. Meanwhile, Du Pre befriends a musician from Fort Belknap Reservation who introduces him to disturbing parallels between the huge incidence of birth defects in the Indian population there and the activities of the persephone gold mine located near the reservation. With some reluctance, Du Pre agrees to look into both problems. But then Danny's body is found in a well, and Du Pre discovers a link between the boy's life and what goes on at Fort Belknap. Working with a doctor who's long been concerned about Persephone's practices, Du Pre dangerously confronts the indifference and recklessness of the industrial mine. Perfectly capturing the cadences of Metis life, Peter Bowen beautifully depicts the people and landscape of remote Montana.

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."

Review :
"[Peter Bowen] writes about the rural West better than just about anyone...He gets it right over and over again." --"Rocky Mountain News" "Distinctive...Bowen's writing is lean and full of mordant observations. His hardy characters...come to life, and his wry humor provides relief from the haunting, wind-bitten cattle-ranch landscape." --"Publishers Weekly" "Strange, seductive...haunting...The wonder of these voices is that they are...blunt and crude, soaked in whiskey and raspy from laughter, but sill capable of leaving echoes." --Marilyn Stasio, "The New York Times Book Review" "Gloriously unbridled...[Due Pre] resonates with originality and energy." --"Chicago Tribune"
