Every Saturday night for a year, E. O. Smonk has been destroying property, killing livestock, seducing women, cheating and beating men, all from behind the twin barrels of his Winchester 45-70 caliber over-and-under rifle. Syphilitic, consumptive, gouty, and goitered--an expert with explosives and knives--Smonk hates horses, goats, and the Irish, and it's high time he was stopped. But capturing old Smonk won't be easy--and putting him on trial could have shocking and disastrous consequences, considering the terrible secret the citizens of Old Texas are hiding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFranklin, Tom:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eTom Franklin is the \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author of \u003cem\u003eCrooked Letter, Crooked Letter\u003c\/em\u003e, which won the \u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e Book Prize and the Crime Writers' Association's Gold Dagger Award.
