A classic ride'em, shoot'em, fast Western frontier novel by award-winning author Max Evans. A tie-in edition published simultaneously with the film produced by Martin Scorsese (GoodFellas, Age of Innocence), directed by Stephen Frears (Dangerous Liaisons, The Grifters), and starring Woody Harrelson ( Natural Born Killers). They were two cowboys out of the New Mexico dust. Cowpunchers and manpunchers, they hit hard, lived raw and rode the beautiful Hi Lo Country as best friends and comrades. Until one night, when they fell in love with the same woman...a beautiful, irresistable, married woman...This story was famous Western director Sam Peckinpah's pet project, but he died before he could make it. The film rights fiercely fought over, the inimitable team of Scorsese and Frears snapped them up and have produced one of the most exciting films of 1998 -- a film classic in the making.
