Set in 1884, Hell on the Border tells the story of Deputy US Marshal Bass Reeves at the peak of his historic career. Famous for being a crack shot as well as for his nonviolent tendencies, Reeves uses his African American race to his strategic advantage. Along with a tramp or cowboy disguise, Reeves appears so nonthreatening that he often positions himself close enough to the outlaws he is pursuing to arrest them without bloodshed.
After a series of heroic feats of capturing and killing infamous outlawsโmost notably Jim Webbโand an introduction to Belle Starr, Reeves finds himself in the Fort Smith jail, charged with murder. This second book in the Bass Reeves Trilogy investigates what really happened when Reeves made the greatest mistake of his life on the heels of his greatest achievements.
Sidney Thompson teaches creative writing and African American literature at Texas Christian University. He is the author of the award-winning Follow the Angels, Follow the Doves and Hell on the Border, which were adapted for the Paramount+ miniseries Lawmen: Bass Reeves, directed by Taylor Sheridan and starring David Oyelowo.
Midnite Michael is a culture-bending, baritone-having storyteller who sings. Having honed his skills reading bedtime stories to his three daughters, Midnite's voice can now be heard on (or in) a wide range of commercials, internet ads, documentaries, museum exhibits, and audiobooks-his storytelling playground of choice. Although his smooth, engaging voice has been lauded across the globe, his daughters are still not impressed.
