In Comanche Moon, Larry McMurtry brings his Pulitzer Prize–winning saga full circle. Texas Rangers Augustus McCrae and Woodrow F. Call, now hardened by middle age, face not only the dangers of the frontier but also the mysteries of love. Gus still yearns for Clara Forsythe, while Call struggles with Maggie Tilton, the young woman devoted to him despite his silence.
Their duties pull them into pursuit of Buffalo Hump, the fierce Comanche chief; Kicking Wolf, a legendary horse thief; and a Mexican bandit king with a taste for torture. Alongside Deets, Jake Spoon, and Pea Eye Parker, they battle to protect settlers pushing into contested land.
At once brutal, darkly funny, and deeply human, McMurtry’s vision of the West captures courage, betrayal, and the cost of survival.
