In una sperduta cittadina del Wyoming, ormai quasi abbandonata, se non fosse per la cinquantina di minatori che sbarcano ogni sabato a far baldoria, arriva un giovane straniero: Matthew Dubchek. E' gentile e abile, e dunque trova diversi lavoretti con cui si guadagna da vivere. E inizia anche a scoprire i piccoli e grandi segreti degli abitanti di un borgo all'apparenza tranquillo. Ma non appena arriva Lieder, pazzo assassino evaso dal manicomio criminale insieme a due fuorilegge, si scatena l'inferno. Lieder vuole impadronirsi dell'argento della miniera, ma anche liberare gli Stati Uniti da tutti quelli che ritiene parassiti: negri, cinesi e soprattutto ebrei.

And when the killing, the thunder, and the terror are over, some will live, some will be buried, and the myth of the American frontier will never be the same...

THE MAIN: The Main is Montreal's teeming underworld, where the dark streets echo with cries in a dozen languages, with the quick footsteps of thieves and the whispers of prostitutes. It is a world where violence and brutality are a way of life. To the people of the Main, police lieutenant Claude LaPointe is judge and jury, father confessor and avenging angel. Montreal's police force has changed over time, but LaPointe has not. His commitment to justice is total, as is his devotion to the Main and its underworld community. But when a cold-blooded murderer invades LaPointe's territory, he is forced to examine his long-held beliefs and secrets and to confront his own loneliness and mortality. With a cast of unforgettable supporting characters and an unusual and remarkable hero, "The Main" is another gripping tale of death and danger, of action and mystery, by the incomparable Trevanian.
