A last of a group of settlers in a hardscrabble abandoned western town, self-declared sheriff Makepeace decides to reconnect with others after a visit from a traveling refugee but finds his sense of the world unraveling through his encounters with other ghost towns, stockade villages that enforce a dubious sense of the law, and mysterious slave camps.

Far North: A Novel | Marcel Theroux

Strange how it is that men never act crueler than when they're fighting for the sake of an idea. We've been killing since Cain over who stands closer to god. It seems to me that cruelty is just in the way of things. You drive yourself mad if you take it all personal. Those who hurt you don't have the power over you they would like. That's why they do what they do.
