Author K. Hamilton took experiential working knowledge of horsemanship, combined it with real news stories of cattle rustling in the Malheur County region, added a wild mustang, an inmate, and an estranged daughter returning home, then let her imagination create an action-packed Contemporary Western for her debut novel. Three Corner Rustlers combines elements of old-time Westerns with the 20th century in this modern tale of intrigue and mystery.
