Winning Hand, winning novel

This western novel is more than a western novel. It's a study in characters who don't take no for an answer. The main character, Caroline Pruett, has lost everything but a prize-winning race horse and when she loses even him, she decides to steal him back. Her adversary turns out to be her salvation and she grows up a lot when she realizes that not everything is as it seems. This book is not only compelling and entertaining, but it offers a lot of information about northern Washington in the late 19th century.

A riveting novel from first page to last

Caroline Pruet failed to heed the best advice a gambler can have -- never bet more than you can afford to lose. Because Caroline didn't heed this gambling maxim, she has lost King, her thoroughbred stallion in a poker game to Micah Sutton. Then she compounds her problems by stealing the horse back, and after accidentally shooting Micah, Caroline and king are on the run. But Micah is a hard man to kill, and now he's out to catch Caroline and retrieve his horse. Confidently recommended reading that would make a popular addition to any community library fiction collection, The Winning Hand is a riveting novel from first page to last and clearly documents author C. K. Crigger as a master storyteller of originality and identifiable flair.
