Time of the Wolves: Western Stories

by Marcia Muller

Among the highlights of this award–winning collection is “Sweet Cactus Wine‚” in which a widow fends off the attention of an unwanted suitor with a little assistance from a giant saguaro cactus. In “The Cyaniders” — written especially for this collection — husband and wife geologists team up to discover a killer in a remote mining town. “Forbidden Things” recounts the revelations of a woman who confronts her past in the ruins of a long–abandoned mountain cabin.
