[Caroline · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another western featuring El Halcon, aka Ranger Walt Slade, along with his horse, Shadow. Fighting the bad guys, even when they're in your midst. love this line: Death lay down the dark side-streets, and on whiskey=soaked sawdust, and in disordered, deserted tents. This speaks to how the guys would tear up a town in a drunken frenzy, whether it was payday, or some other reason. A bit of eloquence blossoming up through the western wordage.
