Hart Manus
When Hart Manus got the message about his brother’s “accidental” death, he knew it was strange.
The Enright Mining Co. seems more intent on keeping their secrets than on figuring out what went wrong. And they’ve got Cuddy Raines there pulling the strings—by any means necessary.
But Georgetown is about as honest as it is safe. Men are getting hurt left and right.
First Hart’s brother.
Then the marshal.
When the deputy resigns under suspicious circumstances, it’s too much to take. Hart’s determined to get to the bottom of things, even if he has to risk his life doing it.
Cuddy Raines isn’t above the law—he thinks he is the law. Only he doesn’t need a badge to prove it. Not with all the money he’s bringing in.
All he needs to do is make sure no one talks. That includes Ida DeSpain. She got in the way once before. He won’t let that happen again.
Can Hart beat Raines at his own game, or will he join his brother in the grave?

A little slow moving
Not a bad book but just seemed to move slow. To me it read more like a detective story than an action western. The characters were ok, and the story was fine, but the action was too slow. This is my second book in this series and I probably will move off this author and find another western series to read.

Excellent Read. The tempo of the story started immediately and continued through to the end. Most westerns have predictable endings, but this story had a few surprises along the way.
