Summary: "Thicker than Water: A Story of Hashknife Hartley" by W. C. Tuttle is a fictional novel written in the late 1920s. The story unfolds in the American West, focusing on complicated relationships among the characters, particularly the conflict between father and son—Rance McCoy and his son, Angel McCoy. The narrative hints at themes of betrayal, identity, and the consequences of gambling on personal relationships, with Angel's tumultuous relationship with Lila being a central point of tension. The opening of the book introduces the complex dynamic between Angel and Rance McCoy, set against the backdrop of their ranch. A heated confrontation reveals the strained relationship, as Angel resents his father's control over his life and expresses a desire to marry Lila, who he believes is not his sister. Their confrontation escalates into a high-stakes gamble where one draws cards to determine who gets the first shot in a potential gunfight. This opening sets the stage for themes of deceit, familial loyalty, and the darker side of human nature as Angel's gambling habits threaten not only his relationship with his father but also with Lila, leading to further complications in the small-town community.
