Justa Williams #2
Jailbreak
Acclaimed western writer Giles Tippette takes the action south of the border, where blood is thicker than water no matter how many bullets are fired . . . Running the Half-Moon ranch is all the excitement Justa Williams needs in his life. But when his brother Norris looks into a squatter situation near the Mexican border and lands in a Monterrey jail for his troubles, Justa rides out to get his kin released. When the usual channels get rebuffed, Justa enlists the aid of a dozen kill-crazy banditos to get the matter resolved the old-fashioned way. Now there’s just a hundred miles of Mexican desert to cross before they can reach the Texas border. Hopefully they’ve got enough bullets left to get them there . . . Praise for Giles Tippette and The Bank Robbers “Tippette can plot away with the best of them.” —Dallas Morning News “Like True Grit . . . a small masterpiece . . . brilliantly written.” —Newark News “Spine-jarring, bullet-biting intensity.” —Houston Post “Tough, gutsy, and fascinating.” —NY Newsday “Impressive authenticity.” —Booklist “His fiction is taught and gripping.” —Houston Spectator

Exciting read
As with most of Giles Tippette's books, I couldn't put this one down. I felt like I was there in the middle of all the action! Even the end was good. I highly recommend reading this book.

I hate 1st person story, plus way too much detail for me.
