Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Weld County, Colorado - 1950. Ranchers and farmers become prey to a criminal enterprise organized to rob them of their equipment, livestock, and personal property. At the middle of the criminal conspiracy is Jake, a hard-luck case and inside operative who hopes to leverage personal relationships that he establishes "on the job" to extricate himself from the evil ambitions of a crime boss who otherwise controls his destiny.An homage to the Film Noir cinematic style of the 1950s, and the crime novels of Elmore Leonard, Cooksin is a suspenseful, funny, and soulful look at the redemptive powers of love and family devotions. It is corny like a Frank Capra film, a romantic sojourn into the heart of innocence, and an exploration into the capacity of love to overcome the hardships of life lived hard on the western plains.
