<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Now in trade paperback for the first time--McMurtry's' bestselling Berrybender Narratives quartet, which follows the adventures of a noble English family as they travel the Missouri River in 1832 to explore the American frontier.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From Pulitzer Prize-winning author Larry McMurtry comes the first in a four-volume epic journey through the early American frontier, featuring the Berrybender family, English nobility adrift in the American West in the 1830s.</b> <p/>It is 1830, and the Berrybender family--rich, aristocratic, English, and hopelessly out of place--is on its way up the Missouri River to see the untamed West as it begins to open up. Lord and Lady Berrybender have abandoned their home in England to broaden the horizons for themselves and their three children. With irascible determination--and a great deal of outright chaos--the party experiences both the awesome majesty and brutal savagery of the unexplored land, from buffalo stampedes and natural disasters to Indian raids and encounters with frontiersmen and trappers, explorers, pioneers, and one part-time preacher known as the Sin Killer. Sin Killer, the strong, silent Westerner, captures the heart of the strong-willed, beautiful Berrybender daughter, Tasmin. But their fast developing relationship can only bring more trouble for the Berrybender's. <p/>Packed with breathtaking adventure, charming romance, and a sense of humor stretching clear over the horizon, <i>Sin Killer</i> is a truly unique view of the West that could only come from the boundless skill and imagination of Larry McMurtry.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>Sin Killer</i> offers a zany, episodic ride...It is a journey made of pratfalls, floggings, stabbings, bawdy seductions, gruesome deaths and daring rescues. <br> --<i>The Washington Post</i><br><br>In this tale of the exploration, and exploitation, of the West, McMurtry is telling us something about our checkered past -- and perhaps about our uncertain present. <br> -- <i>People</i><br><br>Irresistible...full of blood, blunder and myth. <br> -- <i>The New York Times</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Larry McMurtry (1936-2021) was the author of twenty-nine novels, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning <i>Lonesome Dove</i>, three memoirs, two collections of essays, and more than thirty screenplays.
