| Will Cantrell is on the run. Heading into
Cassandra County to meet a man whose testimony might help him. Saving a woman, Libby, at the River Way Station he's appalled to discover that she's the wife of the tough and unforgiving Cassandra County lawman, Cates. Libby promises to keep quiet about
who saved her but secrets can't be kept for long. Cantrell not only has Cates and his posses after him but the U.S. cavalry too. With no-one to trust, except maybe Libby, Cantrell finds deceit and danger waiting at every turn. Frank Scarman managed to
hook this reader instantly by providing questions early on in this story such as, is Cantrell guilty or not? Who is the man he's going to meet and why would he help him? What will Cates do when he finds out his wife is covering for an outlaw? Even before
the answers come Scarman throws in more questions that just made me want to continue reading to find those answers. Scarman introduces some great characters that aren't all who they seem when first meeting them. The book builds fast to it's climax
with loads of action along the way making for an entertaining and hard to put down read. One thing I found amusing was how many of the people and places had names beginning with the letter C, don't know why the stood out to me but it did.
Final conclusion is, here's one reader who'll be looking for more books by Frank Scarman. |
