内容简介：
In the late 1800s, some twenty years after the Civil War, men of questionable integrity governed the Dakota Territory. One of these men was Judge Bass of Copper Springs. He ran the town with his henchman Sheriff Tenton. These two men wanted things their way-money, women and money-and they would do whatever it took to get it, even kill innocent men. Jimmy Dugan, a good Christian and family man with three daughters and a son, having been convicted of a crime he did not commit, was to die. Black Heart Paul was a criminal who deserved nothing better than to hang the day after Jimmy. The two men, very different in every respect, became unlikely friends. One was guilty as sin, the other innocent as fresh snow; both were to die if not for the strange events that would somehow keep one alive to redeem himself. The Sound of a Tree combines elements of action, suspense, and love that are designed to entertain, provoke thought, and capture the imagination.
