Review: Gritty, capturing the taste of the West so well

I always associate Westerns with legendary characters such as Butch Cassidy, Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, and Billy the Kid. Add to this John Wayne, and now Van Holt. I've now read a number of his westerns and I can't separate him from the genre.And in Vultures we have another enjoyable read where we have a small team of cowboys hell bent on riding society (as it is in the wild west) of notorious murderers such as the Farradays, and individuals such as Black Patch.There is something arcane yet attractive about westerns where the rule of law is near non-existent, and where its every man for himself. Van Holt captures this atmosphere and spirit yet again so well. Western lovers will enjoy this one.
