Shiloh Stark returns home after fighting in the civil war. Like many veterans he finds it hard to adjust after being in such a bloody conflict. Before going to war he was known for his propensity to solve his problem in a shoot first ask questions later manner. His reputation was such that even after so many years he is still recognized in Pierceville. This could be his downfall.It is in Pierceville that Starks violent past catches up to him. The family of a man he shot is hunting him and they want him dead. As with most of Holt's characters, Stark is a man with a code all his own. He is not a bad man, nor is he a good man, he is a man who has a bit of both. Don't look for the Hollywood type ending here, Holt keeps his books as real as it gets. The Good did not always win and sometimes the lines between Hero and Villain was blurred.This is the perfect book for anyone who loves westerns. Add it to this falls reading list today.
