by W. C. Tuttle
In the dusty frontier town of Paradise, two down-on-their-luck cowboys cross paths with a fiery Italian showman and his astonishingly human-like ape, Ajax. What begins as a drunken escapade spirals into chaos as the ape’s antics—armed with stolen guns, whiskey, and a knack for mayhem—send the town into a frenzy. A wild, darkly comedic tale of mistaken identities, Darwinian humor, and the fine line between man and beast, where no one is quite what they seem.
