A winner
L.J. Martin gained a new fan. Conn Callahan is the kind of hero readers love. He is polite, wholesome, and gritty. Martin's knowledge of the Arizona Territories made the experience rewarding. I can't wait for the next installment, especially with the return of the Earps and Clantons. Gun smoke is going to fill the air.

Good story
Wish I'd read this book first instead of reading #2 first. Having a hard time figuring out who came first the chicken or the egg? Good story this author is growing on me.
Rock on!

Really enjoyed this book. I liked the character of Conn. He was very humorous and unafraid. He set out on his mission of revenge for the murder of his wife and completed his quest.
