Writing as Colby Jackson, James Reasoner spins another thoroughly believable story about Rancho Diablo and the family that calls it home. He brings in a nemesis from the past that Sam Blaylock feels obliged to take in. That's where the trouble begins.Hangrope Law offers the speed and umph of Bonanza of TV fame. A family is merely trying to build themselves a life in the frontier of Texas, but the past catches up, and a shady lawman thickens the plot.James always writes tightly and helps the reader visualize what's going on in the story. By the time you finish Hangrope Law, you'll know the Blaylocks well, and you'll be looking forward to more on how the Blaylocks won the west.Highly recommended.Chuck Tyrell, author of The Snake Den, Vulture Gold, and other westerns
