Once he had belonged to the stark and brutal days, days of manhunts and sudden violence. Now Owen Toller had a farm and a family. Until the Brunner brothers came down from the hills-to murder and plunder, to writer bloodier, more savage history than even the James and the Dalton gangs.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Clifton Adams (1919-1971) was an American novelist best known for his crime fiction and westerns. Born in Oklahoma, Adams wrote with a tough, direct style shaped by the emotional and physical landscapes of the American Southwest. His fiction often centres on men under pressure, moral weakness, violence, temptation, and the narrow margin between survival and destruction.Adams wrote under his own name and under pseudonyms, producing both noir crime novels and westerns for the paperback market. His crime fiction, including Death's Sweet Song, belongs to the hard-boiled and noir tradition of mid-twentieth-century American popular literature, where flawed characters are driven by fear, hunger, desire, and bad judgment into situations they cannot control.He also achieved major recognition as a western writer, winning two Spur Awards from the Western Writers of America. Today Adams remains of interest to readers of vintage paperback noir, hard-boiled crime fiction, westerns, and mid-century American pulp literature. His best work combines speed, fatalism, psychological pressure, and a bleak understanding of human frailty.
