"Excellent western with (at least for me) a nice surprise ending. Leonard does not glamorize the west, showing that even the good guys sometimes have ulterior motives. He also shows what persistence and bravery will do for you. Enjoy this one. "

— Norm, 8/7/2009" Fun western by Leonard. Interesting play on action drama, especially the ending that just sort of falls apart. "
