But you'd be wrong. As it turns out, quite a lot has happened starting with a suspicious mudslide that destroys the town's Main Street and a cowboy, Buster McCaffrey, arrested for the death of one of the richest men in America, Marvin Mallomar. As the soon-to-retire Sheriff, Shep Dudival, investigates the circumstances surrounding the murder, it comes to light that Buster and Mallomar's young wife were having a Cowboy Always Rings Twice affair. From there, Price takes this familiar story plot and turns it on its head--folding a rococo cast of Vanadium's characters into a timeline that begins with Vanadium's post WWII labor strife and ends with the Kulturkampf of present day. While it may all seem humorous and surreal at first blush, one gets the feeling by Improbable Fortunes' un-guessable conclusion, that Price has used the fictitious town of Vanadium--a place without a recognizable gas station, a decent restaurant, or a clean bathroom--as the Rosetta Stone for something larger."--provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Cowboys $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mines and mineral resources $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Colorado $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Western $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 $x Fiction $v Audio Book 700 $a Price, Jeffrey, 941 $a 1 952 $l REPC017 $d 20220831010151.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3CDD207028F211EDB398BB3D49ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
