Henry and Isaac

Henry and Isaac traces the careers of two complicated and intriguing characters from the dying decades of the Wild West – one a successful, largely self-educated bank robber, the other a well-known judge.

The story turns on a meeting between the two several years before they confronted each other across a courtroom. It draws on events that are a matter of record and although this meeting is not among them, it is one that might have happened.

As the story unfolds, it explores their characters, motivations and the influence of the meeting on their lives through events they each played a part in.

This is a singular, absorbing and entertaining book that will interest those who like western fiction and those who enjoy a good read.
