Edgar Wilson makes the sign of the cross on the forehead of a cow, then stuns it with a mallet. He does this over and over again, as the stun operator at Senhor Milo's slaughterhouse: reliable, responsible, quietly dispatching cows and following orders, wherever that may take him. It's important to calm the cows, especially now that they seem so unsettled: they have begun to run in panic into walls and over cliffs. Bronco Gil, the foreman, thinks it's a jaguar or a wild boar. Edgar Wilson has other suspicions. But what is certain is that there is something in this desolate corner of Brazil driving men, and animals, to murder and madness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ana Paula Maia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1913867498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913867492\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Charco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 99\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 4.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/29\/2023","brand":"Ana Paula Maia","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073343549695,"sku":"9781913867492","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_20fc7a96-b4c6-463d-8414-797dd04efd73.jpg?v=1685447272","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/of-cattle-and-men-ana-paula-maia-9781913867492","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
