A book that is truly satisfying to read.

This book is wonderful!! Well written, easy reading and full of the flavour of the old West and of great movies. No bells, no whistles just a wonderful story that makes you feel good and want to keep reading.

Would have rated it a 4.4 if possible. Compared to most westerns it is a bit slow developing at its beginning. That is one of the reasons it is such a fine book. By 1/2 way through you really care about the characters, what is going on in the town and where the plot is taking you.

A very good read that keeps your interest

This book is a very good read that keeps your interest. Not your typical shoot em up western. Interesting characters and actions.

Relaxing reading adventure in the old west Colorado high country. Constable Charley Bent is faced with some dangerous men who are searching for the missing gold in Cache Canon. He starts checking on their background while the folks of the town speculate. The action moves forward with a nice ending.
