Nobody's left but C. Card. And when you hire C. Card, you have scraped the bottom of the private-eye barrel as revealed in the fast, funny, slam-bang adventures of the seedy, not-too-bright detective.\n\nThe Hawkline Monster: A Gothic Western\n\nThe time is 1902, the setting eastern Oregon. Magic Child, a fifteen-year-old Indigenous girl, wanders into the wrong bordello looking for the right men to kill the monster that lives in the ice caves under the basement of Miss Hawkline's yellow house—sparking off a series of wild, witty, and bizarre encounters.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0395547032\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0395547032.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Brautigan, Richard\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
