Synopsis

No one writes more beautifully about the dry sage Texas landscape of Texas....The book feels more like an old-fashioned Western than a contemporary mystery at times, but that's part of the attraction. Like the wood of its title ('some trees add a layer of new wood under their bark each year. The core of the tree grows stronger and stronger, until it's almost like iron.'), Burke's stories last.
