Horseman, Pass By by Larry McMurtry is $2.99 at Amazon US.
This is Larry McMurtry's first novel and was filmed as the Paul Newman movie Hud.
I've read McMurtry's Last Picture Show and Lonesome Dove and highly recommend him.

A stunning literary debut, Horseman, Pass By (1961) exhibits the “full-blooded Western genius” (Publishers Weekly) that would come to define McMurtry’s incomparable sensibility. In the dusty north Texas town of Thalia, young Lonnie Bannon quietly endures the pangs of maturity as a persistent rivalry between his grandfather and step-uncle, Hud, festers, and a deadly disease spreads among their cattle like wildfire.
