“It’s just another day at the office as two men on horseback embark from Oregon City to the California gold country to kill a man who has offended their boss. They may be professional killers, but, first and foremost, Eli and Charlie Sisters are brothers, and their hilarious banter alone is worth the price of admission. The gripping adventure of an epic quest collides with brutal comic timing, and the shock of remorseless violence is countered by the fragile hope that a rough man like Eli could leave the murdering life behind, settle down with a nice lady and maybe even improve his dental hygiene in the process.”—Casey O., Elliott Bay Book Company, Seattle
