Van Holt has that simple but rare ability to enchant you with his tales of the Wild West. This must be about my fourth novel from this grand master of the western, and his novels just seem to get better and better. I'd like to say that his style grows on you with each book, but the truth is that I enjoyed his writings from the very start.This time we have Dan Britton, who like many of Van Holt's characters is a villain but who also appeals to you, especially in these unsure times when the line between law and disorder are not always clear cut. With many a man with a bounty on his head, this is just the recipe for a good old action, gun-slinging, Western. Yet Van Holt's novels have so much more, with intriguing plots, beguiling women, cold-blooded murderers, and unexpected twists in each of his stories, and this one is no different.I encourage you to try out this book. Once you read one of his books, you'll want to read another.
