- Summary:
- "Jonas Crow is not your average mortician. Tall, lean, and accompanied by a carrion-eating vulture, he travels the Old West in a black hearse, providing final rites for those who can afford them. But Jonas is a man with a past as dark as the clothes he wears--and his newest client is about to make life very difficult for the living. When the wealthy and hated mining tycoon Joe Cusco summons Crow, it's for a peculiar request: Cusco knows he's dying, and he plans to takehis vast fortune with him. By swallowing his hoard of gold nuggets before drawing his last breath, he turns his own body into a literaltreasure chest. Now Jonas Crow must transport the gold-filled corpse across a desert crawling with outlaws, desperate miners, and Cusco's own vengeful former employees. With a straight-laced English governess and a mysterious woman named Rose by his side, Crow must navigate a trail of greed where the line between the 'good guys' and thevultures is razor-thin"-- Provided by publisher.
