| Summary |
"Hidden Blood" by W. C. Tuttle is a Western novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows two cowboys, Hashknife Hartley and Sleepy Stevens, as they navigate their way through the rugged landscape of the American Southwest, looking for relief from Hashknife's debilitating rheumatism. The plot revolves around their encounter with the enigmatic Big Medicine Hawkworth and the tensions that arise with various characters, including the dangerous Pedro Torres. The opening of the book introduces readers to Hashknife and Sleepy as they seek solace from their troubles at a remote stage station called Piute. Here, they learn about the hot springs owned by Big Medicine Hawkworth, which are rumored to alleviate Hashknife’s condition. Upon arriving at the Hawkworth ranch, the duo becomes embroiled in a brewing conflict involving a stagecoach robbery, a wounded stranger, and the ominous presence of Torres and his accomplices. The narrative sets a scene of intrigue and danger as Hashknife's condition improves, but dark forces and confrontations loom on the horizon, promising further complications for the duo.
