Review: Van Holt does it again!

Blood in the Hills is another good offering from author Van Holt.  As with his other novel that I have read, Curly Bill and Ringo: They Rode to Hell Together, it's a classic Western.  He writes in a very descriptive manner and it's very easy to visualize the characters he's introducing.  The result is a well written, easy to read story.  It certainly kept my attention, cover to cover.The story centers on a gang of former outlaws, the Circle Eight, who seemingly appear as legitimate businessmen in New Mexico working as cattle ranchers.  Their prior indiscretions catch up to them and they find themselves in a fight for their lives when a young gunslinger named Dan Potter exacts his revenge.  There are also a few interesting subplots and a not quite happy ending.  Take the time to read it.  You won't be disappointed.
