Long Grass Blows: A Novel

Bill Canavan rode into the valley with a dream to start his own ranch. However, when he managed to stake claims on the three best water holes, the other ranchers turned against him. No one is more determined to see Canavan dead than Star Levitt, an unscrupulous businessman who has been accumulating cattle at an alarming rate. Suspicious after witnessing a secret meeting between the riders of warring ranches, Bill begins noticing other dubious behavior, such as Levitt's fiancée, Dixie Venable, acting more like a hostage than a willing bride-to-be.

Canavan doesn't have much time to figure out what's going on. The entire valley is against him, and everyone is ready to shoot on sight. Levitt, in particular, is determined to see Canavan dead. This ruthless businessman has been steadily amassing a large herd of cattle, raising suspicions among the other ranchers.

After witnessing a clandestine meeting between the riders of the feuding ranches, Bill starts to notice some peculiar actions. One of the most puzzling is the behavior of Levitt's fiancée, Dixie Venable, who seems more like a captive than a willing partner in an upcoming marriage.

Unfortunately for Canavan, he doesn't have much time to investigate these mysteries. The entire valley has turned against him, and the locals are poised to open fire at the first opportunity. Canavan's dream of starting his own ranch is now threatened by the growing hostility and the looming danger that surrounds him.

Despite the odds, Canavan is determined to uncover the truth and protect his fledgling operation. He must navigate the treacherous web of alliances and deception that has enveloped the valley if he hopes to survive and realize his ranching ambitions. The stakes are high, and the threat of violence is ever-present, as Canavan finds himself pitted against the ruthless Levitt and the collective opposition of the other ranchers.
