In 1885, Walter Burke and his two partners make their living as bounty hunters to finance the cattle ranch they've dreamed of owning since they rode for the Pony Express. When his sister dies, Walter goes east to assume responsibility for her only son and heir. Walter takes him west on a journey into a world he's only read about in schoolbooks and dime store novels. But midway through their travels, the boy's stepfather kidnaps the boy for his inheritance.
I have longed to get into reading Westerns and this is the first one I have read. I don't know why I chose his one but I am very happy I did. This is a fun and easy read that moves along quickly with short chapters. The story, though not "action packed" keeps the reader engaged and wanting more. Very happy to have started my journey reading this book.
Wolfe’s first novel is as solid as any of his other westerns. You can’t ask for much better when it comes to modern day traditional westerns. I do wish his audience was larger. I feel like I’m the only one who reads his books.
