I took this one from our local library and didn't realize, until I got home with it, that it had been previously published under the name "One Last Town" (don't know why) but since I had it, I read it again. This is the same review that I gave for the first one ....
Excellent. A real law man, Bill Tilghman, during the early 20's racketeering days in Oklahoma. And since it is his real story, he also gets killed at the end ... His was a great story and well written.

This is the first Matt Braun book I have read and it was very interesting. I have no way of knowing whether the actions claimed in the book are factual or embellished but it certainly made for interesting reading.

I was astonished at how good this book is. I was 100% expecting it to be a pulp western, but it turned out to be less Louis L’amour and more Larry McMurtry. The characters were lovable, and the dialogue was well done. First book of Matt Braun’s that I’ve read, but it certainly won’t be the last.
