Résumé

This tale of many centers on three men, Tom Doolittle, George Nil, and Bill Blackman. The story encompasses their brief lives before arriving at a juncture in Holbrook, and other Arizona towns, in the 1880s. The story edges into Arizona history with side stories about adjunctive characters, and the communities in which the moment is located. The main characters are destined, it seems throughout the story, to meet in a gun battle.
The potential arises out of Doolittle and Nil planning a robbery of a bank in Holbrook. Blackman is a deputy sheriff in the town. Practices of law enforcement of the time come into view in this mixed narrative. The penultimate scene arises and the three fulfill their destinies. Historicalmoments enhance the story, add life to the times, give the reader the flavor of Arizona, and Holbrook. The tale tells of the "wild west" at its wildest, in the little town of Holbrook which has been called the toughest, wildest town in Arizona, bar none.

Biographie de H. Berkeley Rourke

Berk Rourke was born in Douglas, Arizona on August 28, 1938. His careers were in teaching 8th and 9th grade students initially and then as an attorney for a total of some 40 years. He began writing as a cathartic exercise and enjoyed it so much that he continued with multiple efforts now being published for the first time. His life has known very few limits and his writing in at least three genres has not known limits yet.
Life activities include military service as a teen and younger man, college/university shortened by economic necessities in the first instance, filling out the requirements of a M. A. in Arts to enhance salary levels, all in night school, and law school for three years, followed by the bar exam in the state of Arizona, licensing in the Federal court system in the District Court of Arizona, the 9th Circuit Court and the United States Supreme Court.
A brief description of life shows a warrior, a teacher, a warrior of the word, and a writer. Married more than once, currently unmarried, still writing at age 77 with several more books awaiting publishing.
