Reviews

[TiedGame]

Another solid entry in the long-running series from James Reasoner. Nicely put-together story with plenty of action and less sex that usually occurs in Longarms. The tale hinges on a plot to kidnap the vice president of the United States when his train stops to take on water in the tiny town of Inferno. An enjoyable read.
