From our Purveyor of Books:
I read this book in one sitting, turning the pages as quickly as I could. Interested in the characters, the setting, the plot, the introduction of real personalities into the story line-all these ingredients captured my full attention. You do need to know that these "real" men speak boldly and colorfully. Since I tend to read non-fiction, it took me a few pages to be comfortable with some of the dialogue. A captivating first novel, I look forward to reading the follow-ups Requiem For An Appaloosa and The Rights of Men.

Synopsis:
