On the Great Plains the buffalo hunt is in full progress. A plan conceived by the government, supported by the U.S. Army. It will decimate the herds...all to starve the native tribes into submission, to make them easier to conquer. Not everyone is onboard with this nefarious plan. Daniel McCanty, in fact, is taking serious exception to it... From Pilot Hill Press: "Rufus Gates was generally considered to be the worst hangman west of the Mississippi." So begins Chapter One of BAD MEN, a novel that takes you into the heart of the rapidly disappearing Wild West. BAD MEN is filled with unforgettable characters, set against the backdrop of sweeping historical events. Michael Kanaly takes the standard western tale and turns it on its head...as readers of this richly imaginative author have come to expect. Michael Kanaly's work has been called: "Provocative and original." Booklist "Exciting and innovative." Midwest Book Review "Impossible to ignore...or forget." New York Times Book Review "Michael Kanaly is a writer who thinks big. His fresh, idiosyncratic approach make his novels well worth reading." Fiction Review
