Reviews

[Steven Allen · Rating 2 out of 5]

We start with Longarm supposedly on vacation, but the first week he ends up getting in a gun fight and then having to settle a score. At least the second week of his vacation is more restful.

Decent Western action in this book with a few shootouts, and one of the few times we see Longarm opt for a shotgun.
