Bill Spradley is back with a second collection of quirky and captivating short stories. Like his previous collection, Interludes & Lunch, COLD TRAIL includes wry humor and touching sadness, wicked twists and unexpected tangents. In this second volume of short stories, the Nebraska native also touches the darker side with tales of life in the Sandhills and pioneers on the sod house frontier. "Spradley has an ear for dialogue and clever phrasing." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch
