Joshua Dillard's infectious dilemma\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Well-written with vividly drawn characters and hardboiled action, this has a standard beginning for a Western novel. But old pro Chap O'Keefe is just luring the reader in before springing some great twists in the plot. Those twists don't come fast and furious... The sense that something isn't quite right builds at a deliberate but very effective pace, picking up steam as the storyline moves from Texas to Montana, and winds up in a stunning climax that's more like something out of Greek tragedy than a traditional Western. This is a fine novel, with O'Keefe working solidly in the tradition of noirish Western authors such as Lewis B. Patten, H. A. De Rosso, and Dean Owen. Joshua Dillard is a very appealing, tough but flawed hero... If you're a Western fan and haven't tried a Chap O'Keefe novel yet, you really should.\" - James Reasoner, \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e bestselling author \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I'm looking forward to reading\u003cem\u003e Faith and a Fast Gun\u003c\/em\u003e.
