Black Cloud — Janice Daugharty

Because of his dignified bearing and good looks, Wilton Norton has always been viewed as a ladies' man, though "he has loved only one lady." Now he has passed from that thrilling life-stage. His wife Ann has died and he is alone and growing soft on his family's homeplace. Then the IRS gets after him for taxes he doesn't owe, followed by government-placed cougars after his cattle. He has to fight back or else be bodily moved from his house to the cemetery behind it. Just once, he'd like to best the government, and he does.
