About the Book

That Old Ace in the Hole is told through the eyes of Bob Dollar, a young Denver man whose own parents abandoned him on his uncle's doorstep when he was seven. Dollar is out of college but purposeless, and he takes a job with Global Pork Rind -- his task, to locate big spreads of land in the panhandle that can be purchased and converted to hog farms. Dollar finds himself in a Texas town called Woolybucket, whose fiercely idiosyncratic inhabitants have ridden out all manner of seismic shifts in panhandle country, from tornadoes and dust storms to the beginnings of commercial rodeo. These are tough men and women who witnessed firsthand the demise of the great cattle ranches when the windmills that made the land viable could no longer draw deep enough. Now it's feed lots, hog farms, and ever-expanding drylands.Dollar settles into La Von Fronk's old bunkhouse for $50 a month, helps out at Cy Frease's Old Dog Care, targets Ace and Tater Crouch's ranch for Global Pork, and learns the hard way how vigorously the old owners will hold onto their land, even though their children want no part of it. A strikingly intimate account of the vast waves of change shaping American culture across the decades, That Old Ace in the Hole is an exceptional achievement from one of our very finest writers.
