Reviews

[Connlou Ross · Rating 4 out of 5]

(c)1972 Max Brand gives you a genre on how someone decides to prey on innocent ranchers to one day own what doesnt belong to them. It had a lot of characters and takes awhile to figure out the main characters suspicions and how he can attempt to solve the mystery.

A solid western, neither oustanding, nor terrible, which is about standard for the genre.
