This westerner was a pleasant read. The ending was not well fleshed out. The ending was rather abrupt. Otherwise I enjoyed the book.

I started this book, and finished it in one sitting. It was that gripping.
Ranger Jim Blawcyzk finds himself in a world of hurt when he wakes up naked, covered in blood next to a saloon girl who is likewise naked. Except she has Jim's Bowie knife buried to the hilt in her chest and is the source of the blood. Blawcyzk starts out to prove his innocence, but that's hard from the inside of a jail cell, miles from other Rangers.
Griffin's novels keep getting better and better. His plotting, pacing and ideas get sharper, and more distinct each time out. He writes in a style reminiscent of pulp westerns, yet isn't slavish to it. It is recognizable as such, yet he has found his own voice and uses it well.
This latest novel in the Ranger Blawcyzk series is a page-turner and worth a read.

HE AIN'T DEAD
Crooked businessman with the help of hired guns are trying to control Quitaque, Texas. You know the bad guys against the good guys, so one of the harassed business sends a telegraph to the TEXAS RANGERS for assistance. Lots of intrigue,
such poisoning, destroying people's businesses. Attacking Local ranchers who come to town for supplies, the local sheriff was in cahoots with THE bad guys so there wasn't help for the good people of Quitaque. You read this adventure and what you deduct is NEVER underestimate people...or don't let the left hand know what the right hand is doing....or you reap what you sow....or you may receive a dirt coat...You never know..
