Reuben Cole has seen it all. Now retired, he spends his days on a rocking chair in the shade, watching the world pass by.
But when Miss Amelie reports an intruder, something crawls up his back like ice splinters forming on a window pane. After young sheriff Stone doesn’t come back after investigating the report, Cole knows he must once more strap on his six-gun and bring the guilty to justice.
But he is not a young man anymore. Does he still have what it takes to face down cold-blooded killers, and live to tell the tale?
My first published book 'Cold Hell in Darley Dene' (written as Glenn Stuart) was the culmination of years of trying to get myself into print. Back in 1979 I submitted a novel to a publisher, and in 2009 Darley Dene was accepted. Thirty years of honing my skills, and learning a lot about the world. If I had the chance, I'd almost certainly re-write all of my books, improve them, make them more solid, because the more we write, the better we get.This is what has happened to 'Darley Dene'. It's now available as 'Lament for Darley Dene', re-written and improved. Soon, you will find the same with 'The Pawnbroker', a horror story which I am sure many out there will enjoy. My current day-job is being a teacher, a job I love. Without it I would not be able to continue to write; it also gives me a wealth of characters and so many ideas. The bills get paid too! I write now as Stuart G Yates in a range of genres. Unflinching is my best-selling Western, but if you like historical fiction, thrillers or spine-tingling horror, I am sure I have a title for you. For the moment, I live in Spain, which is not so wonderful as people try to make out, and I would dearly love to return to Old Blighty, find a little cottage and write full time. Or the Philippines and be with my fiance, marry her, find happiness. Dreams, but dreams that I am trying very hard to make true. Afterall, it's dreaming what writers do best...don't they?

I knew when I started reading this book that it was the last one in the series. I thought Reuben was going to die. I had no idea that it was going to end this way.
I guess when I look at this series of Reuben Cole. It is a reflection of all of come to terms with our own mortality. Growing old is not always kind. We all have to deal with it on our own terms. Reuben did in this book. You will enjoy.
