The Undertaker: Mr. Prairie & The World of Oz
About this ebook
The Undertaker thought he was chasing love—only to be paid to bury it.
When Jonas Crow receives a letter out of the blue, signed “R. Prairie,” it’s enough to shake him from his whiskey-soaked stupor: Rose, the woman he loves, wants to see him again. But when he shows up in Eaden, a small Texas town, he realizes his terrible mistake: the letter was written by her husband, Dr. Randolph Prairie.
Dr. Prairie has called on Jonas to handle two burials: one for a priest, who died under mysterious circumstances, and the other for an unborn child, whose mother cannot keep it. In post-Civil War Texas, where abortion is legal but handguns are not, that second job proves explosive.
As the League for the Suppression of Vice stokes tensions throughout the town, Jonas finds himself once again drawn into a fight that isn’t his—but which might decide his future.
