From the author of New York Times Notable book The Ice Harvest , a cult classic of Western noir set in a 19th century Kansas frontier town rocked by a series of brutal murders Introducing photographer and saloon owner Bill Ogden.
Brilliantly written, maliciously fun, and full of many surprises, Cottonwood is historical fiction at its finest..
He also brings to life actual crimes that befell Kansas in the 1870s and 1880s, carried out by a strange clan who popularly became known as the Bloody Benders.
In his own inimitable brand of narrative wizardry, Scott Phillips traces the metamorphosis of a frontier town that becomes a lightning rod for sin, corruption, and murder.
Meanwhile, plying its sinister trade unnoticed, an apparently ordinary local farm family quietly butchers traveling salesmen, weary travelers, and other unsuspecting wanderers.
While many in Cottonwood distrust Leval\'s motives, and mob violence threatens to derail the town\'s dreams of greatness, Ogden finds himself dangerously obsessed with Leval\'s stunningly beautiful wife.
But civilizing the Great Plains was never that simple.
The advent of the railroad and rumors of a cattle trail turn Cottonwood into a wild and wooly boomtown--and with Leval as a partner, Ogden dreams of bringing civilization to the prairie.
His brains and ambition bring him to the attention of one Marc Leval, a wealthy Chicago developer with big plans for the small town.
Self-educated saloon owner and photographer Bill Ogden looks on his adopted town with an eye to making a profit or getting out.
Perfect for fans of Deadwood and Justified In 1872, Cottonwood, Kansas, is a one-horse speck on the map; a community of run-down farms, dusty roads, and two-bit crooks.
