Long and drawn out
This book is one I have not encountered before. There are no chapters. Just one long story. The injustice recounted, is representative of our American justice system today. Politicians use their power to cover illegal activities and run for public office. Thanks to brave men in this book, an innocent man is saved from hanging. Lots of action, violence, and a great twist at the end, most events are brought to completion. I would like to know what happened to the judge and if the money was recovered. Also, never heard or read of "reached to him" rather than given/handed to him.?

A NW. Georgia Western Action Adventure (BFTD)
NW. has penned a Georgia western action adventure titled "Back from the Dead" which takes place in the state of Georgia approximately around 1890. A man from New York meets and marries a Georgia. They travel to the home of her parents and along the way she is kidnapped, raped and murdered. Her husband was a westerner who had attended Harvard. He immediately went after those responsible. This is an excellent read for the genre.....DEHS

If you like twists and surprises, must read
I love the humor, the suspense and especially plot twists The author’s brilliant. First book I read was “The Trail” and thought I’d try this one and now I can’t wait for the next So, you can have a blood and guts Western that makes you laugh and really love the characters. The end of this book would make O’Henry proud.

A fast moving intricate story of a struggle for justice.
This story surpasses the normal story lines too often used for western stories by a mile! Trying to figure out who the hero is a unpredictable journey. I recommend you to write down your guess for how this ends before the train trip. Good luck!

Please see my Goodreads account for editorial notes. An editor is sorely needed.

Good Book
I enjoyed this book immensely. Unfortunately it was not edited very well. I am also not a fan of abrupt endings.
