    Abstract

    Set against a backdrop of grey spruce and muskeg, Cowboy tells the story of Gilles Desches, a twenty-something who moves from Montreal to Grande-Ourse, a northern Quebec town haunted by the grisly memory of a twelve-year-old murder. Located at the back of beyond, Grande-Ourse is a dismal place with a bleak future. Until, that is, a Quebec consortium buys up the town, wanting to turn it into a hunting and fishing paradise for wealthy Americans seeking city comforts in the middle of nature.

    Abstract

    Life for former gunfighter Johnny Fierro has never been straightforward or easy. He and Lady Luck don't always see eye-to-eye. Some days he thinks she likes to turn the cards and stack the deck against him. Although Fierro's returned to the Sinclair ranch, he still feels like an outsider. He doesn't believe this new life can last, or that he's found a place that he can finally call home. And, even as he struggles to settle into a normal life and build relationships with the various members of his once-estranged family, his past comes back to haunt him.
