Kurtz gives us much more than that sympathetic characters skillful plotting, and most notably a moving and insightful meditation on love and loyalty. Heath Lowrance, author of City of Heretics"A western must be gritty and raw. The story must embrace not only the manifest destiny of the frontier but the loneliness of the land. Ed Kurtz does all this and more with A Wind of Knives. His rancher possesses a spirit for vengeance (if not justice) that drag readers deep.
