Peter Bowen è celebre per i suoi romanzi gialli ambientati nel moderno West americano. Ispirato dalle storie dei vecchi cowboy ascoltate in gioventù, Bowen crea narrazioni ricche dell'atmosfera della frontiera. La sua figura distintiva, Gabriel Du Pré, un tutore della legge di origini miste, si muove in un paesaggio di intrighi, dall'omicidio spietato alla caccia a fossili rari. Bowen fonde magistralmente avvincenti trame investigative con il carattere unico e la bellezza selvaggia del West.
