The subtitle of this mystery is “A Tale of Bindlestiffs and Blood”. A young man leaves home in post-World War I North Dakota, gets mixed up in a murder, and is soon being chased by both criminals and lawmen. The mystery is fine, but the characters, the descriptions of the lonely wheatfields, and the tension between old and new (the threshing machine is modernizing the harvest) add depth to the story.
