At the turn of the 20th century, Richard Harlow created The Jawbone Railroad to connect ranching and mining country with the Northern Pacific line at Lombard, Montana. Without financing, Harlow put his dream together with the strength and skill of his "jawbone," talking ranchers into giving land, businesses into donating goods and money. In Jim Moore's debut novel, T. C. Bruce, a newly licensed lawyer hears of the murder of a young woman as he travels from his ranch near Two Dot, Montana to the county seat. The accused, an odious loner called Loco, is said to have committed the murder on the train and thrown the victim's body from it. Loco is being held in the county jail where he utters not a sound except a frightening primal growl. T. C. is asked to defend him. Can he and should he save the loathesome character from the hangman when public opinion has already found him guilty?
