Move over Walker, there's a new Texas Ranger in town in David W. Huffstetler's BLOOD ON THE PEN. This hard crime novel grabs the reader by the "meat hooks" on the first line and doesn't let go. Jack Harden is a tormented hero, Elsie Rodriguez is a relentless heroine, and Eddie Carter is an understandable psychopath. BLOOD ON THE PEN delves into the deeper psyche of human nature, focusing in particular upon revenge and redemption. Mr. Huffstetler entrances the reader of this mystery with wit and humor, the horrific, sadness, and a touch of romance. By the last page, redemption has won, and unlike Eddie Carter's bad novel, Mr. Huffstetler needs not worry. I highly recommend BLOOD ON THE PEN.
