Reviews
On Mar 13 2020, a reader said:
Tom Rosser was a lawman without a town; he was now known as a gunfighter, a man with a mission--to shoot down the men who had killed his sweetheart. The town of Great Plains was the last and most violent boomtown, and the place drew every four-flush gamber, and gun for hire, and outlaw there was. And in this most vile place was Riley Condor the man Rosser was after. The town "fathers" knew if the town was to survive the undesireable element had to go, and a man like Rosser was just the man they needed. When Rosser learned Condor was there, it was a "no-brainer"; Rosser came as quickly as he could. But his plans were not exactly those of the townsmen.....The result was a bloody showdown no one expected. Frank Gruber always writes an historically based novel. Sometimes there are historical personages in them, sometimes places, and sometimes it is just the basis of the story. And here is another example. It is indeed a shame that publishers these days have pretty much forgotten the writers who made the western genre what it was--men like Frank Gruber, Ernest Haycox, even Zane Grey can't be found in your local book store anymore--thank God for Biblio who carries what is available.
