Hanging Woman Creek - Louis L'Amour

Barnabus Pike is no gunfighter and not much of a street fighter.
Eddie Holt is a
black boxer in a white man's world.
They've both taken their share of hard knocks.
Now they're looking to survive a brutal winter in a remote Montana line shack, collect
their pay, and settle down for good.
Then they cross paths with a hardworking Irish
immigrant and his beautiful, spirited sister, who've been burned off their land.
It's a fight Pike and Holt don't want, don't need, and don't dare turn their backs
on-especially when one of the perpetrators might be one of Pike's old friends.
Hunted
like animals across the frozen countryside, Pike and Holt will risk everything-including
their reputations, their dreams-and their lives.
