About this Event
*Venue and musical guest to be announced soon!*
A Montana Winter, 1935. Bludgeoned and buried alive by his bank-robbing partner/half-brother, Bosco, Benjamin Kilt should have been a corpse. But now very much on this side of heaven, Kilt’s quest for revenge will be unlike anything the west has ever seen.
Kilt is joined on his journey by Bonnie, a thirteen-year-old Native American girl he somewhat reluctantly rescues from her abusive “keeper.” It is through Bonnie’s recollections in old age of Kilt’s thorny quest for justice that Dane Bahr’s masterful tale unwinds, showcasing the tragic, complicated history of the two brothers and leading to a showdown at the very ranch where they were raised.
For readers of Charles Portis, Elmore Leonard, and Annie Proulx, The Dead Ringer explores the slippery justification of questionable deeds done for honorable ends, a bold and haunting novel featuring a man brought back from the dead to exact revenge, only to discover that the world is capable of good no matter how tragic the end may be.
Dane Bahr was born in Minnesota. He is the author of The Houseboat and Stag. He lives in Washington State with his wife, watching his sons and orchard grow.
