  • "The story of Martin Brady, set along the Texas-Mexican border, explores the theme of divided loyalties and confused identities, "a man alone in a life of violence, riding a harsh country, hungry, searching for home in his heart. From a March sandstorm in the opening page to another March gale at the story's end, through the four parts of the book, the four seasons of that year from March to March, the country and the people in it grip at Martin Brady, test him, weave at his fate, in the worn saddle on the black horse named Lagrimas. Made into the 1959 film starring Robert Mitchum."@en
  • "The story of Martin Brady, a paid "pistolero" with blood on his hands and torn between two ways of life."
