The Searchers
After a Comanche raid destroys the Edwards homestead in Texas, Amos Edwards and his adopted nephew Martin Pauley set out to find young Debbie, who was taken captive. The search stretches across years, seasons, and immense distances as Amos's skill is increasingly inseparable from his hatred of the people they pursue. Martin remains beside him partly to save Debbie from the possibility that Amos may value racial vengeance more than her survival. Stark and unsettling, this western suits readers prepared for period racism and violence who appreciate obsessive quests, frontier landscapes, complicated family bonds, and narratives that examine the destructive boundary between rescue and revenge.
