Publisher's Note
There were only two things that terrified retired black rodeo star and all-around gadfly Hambone Dolbey. One of them was water. So when Hambone's lifeless body was found floating in a wet suit, those who knew him best knew for sure that the cowboy had been murdered. Two of them, a deaf-mute old rodeo clown and a former bull rider, ask CJ Floyd to find the killer. CJ has just chased down a rail-thin bail-jumper named Bobby Two-Shirts, earning himself a $3,000 finder's fee, a vicious bite, and a new enemy: Bobby's beautiful, long-legged sister. Driving bare-breasted through the desert heat, she is in hot pursuit of the man who put her brother away. Now CJ has to watch his back and his front. He discovers Hambone Dolbey's colorful career included a kinky, forbidden, and potentially dangerous affair, and unearths a trail of deals and greed pointing to the mountainous land mass known as the Devil's Backbone. But while CJ hunts a murderer who has already struck twice, Bobby Two-Shirts's sister is laying a trap...

When CJ Floyd returns from his latest collar, he finds that his part-time employee, former rodeo cowboy Morgan Williams is broken-hearted. It seems that one of Williams' oldest friends, pro-rodeo Hall of Famer Cletus Dolbey has been murdered. A torn piece of paper with the dead man's signature leads CJ and Morgan to a struggling energy company that owns some worthless, barren mountain peaks known locally as the Devil's Backbone. But are they really so worthless? Soon CJ finds himself on a lethal trail of diamonds, greed, jealousy--and murder.

Industry Reviews
"Less ambitious and more fast-moving and streamlined than CJ's first two cases, though there are still enough interesting suspects in Hambone's killing for an entire page of the Denver phone book."
