Cities of the Plain: Border Trilogy (3)

The setting is New Mexico in 1952, where John Grady Cole and Billy Parham are working as ranch hands.

To the North lie the proving grounds of Alamogordo; to the South, the twin cities of El Paso and Juarez, Mexico.

Their life is made up of trail drives and horse auctions and stories told by campfire light.

It is a life that is about to change forever, and John Grady and Billy both know it.
