The Power of the Dog

Brought to you by Penguin. Discover Thomas Savage's dark poetic tale of a small town in early 20th century American that inspired the new Jane Campion film. WITH AN AFTERWORD BY ANNIE PROULX Phil and George are brothers and joint owners of the biggest ranch in their Montana valley. Phil is the bright one, George the plodder.

When George unexpectedly marries a young widow and brings her to live at the ranch, Phil begins a relentless campaign to destroy his brother's new wife. But he reckons without an unlikely protector. From its visceral first paragraph to its devastating twist of an ending, The Power of the Dog will hold you in its grip. 'With its echoes of East of Eden and Brokeback Mountain, this satisfyingly complex story deserves another shot at rounding up public admiration' Guardian © Thomas Savage 2016 (P) Penguin Audio 2021

Hell's Jaw Pass

The building of the transcontinental railroad is the story of America itself. Full of great dreams-and greater dangers-it required bold vision, back-breaking work, and one brave man to stop the baddest of the bad men every step of the way. His name is Wolf Stockburn, railroad detective . . . NEXT STOP, HELL. ALL ABOARD! The killers are organized-and ruthless. One by one, they slaughter a railroad crew at Hell's Jaw Pass in Wyoming Territory. No survivors. No mercy. To ensure the rail line's completion, Wells Fargo sends their best detective, Wolf Stockburn, to the nearby mining town of Wild Horse. It's a rowdy little outpost full of miners, outlaws, and downright killers smack in the middle of two of the largest ranches in the territory. It's also as close to the pit of hell as Stockburn has ever been . . . Train holdups, ranch wars, slaughter-this little boomtown's got it all. Stockburn's not sure he can trust anyone here, even the deputy's daughter. This pretty gal isn't just flirting with Wolf, she's flirting with disaster. And that disaster comes with a hail of bullets, and-before it's all over-a lot of blood on the tracks . . .
