Review: Class Western - comparable to the great Zane Grey

I enjoy Westerns, and Van Holt is rapidly becoming one of my favourite authors in this genre. I like the way he handles the western action, the characters he introduces, and their dialog.I have a collection of Western books that include classic authors like Zane Grey whose novels I first read a long time ago, but still enjoy re-reading. It's a tribute to Van Holt that I have his books along side Zane Greys.In this story a gang of ex-outlaws, the Circle Eight, try to escape their past by settling down as quiet businessmen. Yet their past can never escape them, and ultimately their past misdemeanors catch up to them.Van Holt is as good as you will get when it comes to gritty Westerns. Don't miss this one.
