Another terrific hardboiled Western from the master of the form. It is dark, moody, and real. As with all of Gorman's novels it is the little things that makes it shine: every day life in a mid-West town in the 19th century, the fears, anger, the joy and grief. It is a notch above most Westerns, and a superbly entertaining novel.
the first in the Guild series. Guild is an older character than most of the heroes of westerns but very realistic. I liked him very much. He's my favorite western character outside of some of L'Amour's.
My copy has a different cover.

The thing I really like about Gorman's prose is it's nice and lean but not spare. Has an almost poetic lilt to it, now and then, but he doesn't waste words. Endings seem a bit abrupt, though...but, probably the way stuff ended out West...
Features Leo Guild, a bounty hunter with a troubled past. Tries to rectify small town corruption caused mostly by the Cord family. Relationships are paramount in this story....
Superior western by one of the best writers working today.
