You know what you're getting with a Black Horse Western - a thrilling, no nonsense, exciting story written in the way they were written back in the day. I've not read anything else by this author and there are no other titles mentioned inside the book but I found it an enjoyable read that keeps the reader, once hooked, turning the pages.

THIS SOUNDS VERY MUCH LIKE THE PREMISE FROM AN OLD aMERICAN WESTERN TELEVISION SERIES, THE OUTCASTS.
It seems his last book was in 2005 and titled 'Blood Runs Deep'. I wonder if he writes under another name as the Peter Taylor books have a rough five year gap between them. A similar pattern to another BHW writer Edwin Derek.
Gary - did you see that Keith replied to your question about the film?
RAY -Yeah I did indeed. Also been in touch with Keith about this.
Love the cover. I just bought myself a western style single shot revolver. Love it.
