Publisher's Summary:

From "Americas best novelist" (The Denver Post): A sprawling thriller drenched with atmosphere and intrigue that takes a young boy from a chance encounter with Bonnie and Clyde to the trenches of World War II and the oil fields along the Texas-Louisiana coast.

It is 1934 and the Depression is bearing down when 16-year-old Weldon Avery Holland happens upon infamous criminals Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow after one of their notorious armed robberies. A confrontation with the outlaws ends as Weldon puts a bullet through the rear window of Clyde's stolen automobile.

Ten years later, Second Lieutenant Weldon Holland and his sergeant, Hershel Pine, escape certain death in the Battle of the Bulge and encounter a beautiful young woman named Rosita Lowenstein hiding in a deserted extermination camp. Eventually, Weldon and Rosita fall in love and marry and, with Hershel, return to Texas to seek their fortunes.

There, they enter the domain of jackals known as the oil business. They meet Roy Wiseheart - a former Marine aviator haunted with guilt for deserting his squadron leader over the South Pacific - and Roys wife Clara, a vicious anti-Semite who is determined to make Weldon and Rositas life a nightmare. It will be the frontier justice upheld by Weldon's grandfather, Texas lawman Hackberry Holland, and the legendary antics of Bonnie and Clyde that shape Weldons plans for saving his family from the evil forces that lurk in peacetime America and threaten to destroy them all.

Title: Cowboys Come Home

Publisher's Summary:

Ennis Middlebrooks and Harry Byerly are warriors, and the time for fighting is past. Theyre cowboys, and when they get back home to Texas, the time for cowboys is passing, too.

Monte Duttons fifth novel, Cowboys Come Home, begins on the island of Peleliu, where the two privates somehow manage to save themselves when cut off from their fellow Marines by the Japanese. Ennis and Harry come home to a heroes' welcome, but life gets complicated after that.

The Middlebrooks ranch, east of Janus, near the Oklahoma border, is run-down, and Ennis's father is dying. Harry moves in, Mama Middlebrooks moves out, and Ennis takes a job as a deputy sheriff under a wise but aging lawman, Judson Lawson. His little sister, Becky, is wild beyond her years and takes an immediate shine to Harry, who is haunted by the war and prone to violence.

The closing of an Army base, Camp Ammons, is causing the town to die. The county loses nearly 40,000 infantry trainees and gains nearly 60,000 acres. The ranchers it displaced are either long gone or too poor to purchase their land back. Men with political clout and money move in like vultures. Money buys influence and, with it, elections. Ennis Middlebrooks goes from sheriff-in-waiting to disgraced lawman. He and his old Marine pal, Harry Byerly, decide to do something about it.
