Synopsis

A gunslinger is forced out of retirement in this western in Ralph Compton's USA Today bestselling series. Tom Navarro, a hostler at the Bar-V Ranch, has retired his gun-slinging boots to find peace of mind. As much as he enjoys working for Paul Vannorsdell, owner and operator of Bar-V, Navarro has plans of moving up north with the woman he loves to open his own ranch and create a new life for himself. Vannorsdell, too, has big dreams: he wants to buy the Rancho de Cava from an old friend, Don Francisco, so he can become one of the largest landholders in Southern Arizona. Everything seems to be going according to plan until Don Francisco is found dead by Bullet Creek. His sons and the rest of the Rancho de Cava ranchers suspect Vannorsdell. Immediately, the boys from Rancho de Cava begin a war with the Bar-V hostlers. And Navarro soon finds himself smack in the middle of a torrent of lead.

Goodreads review by Jeff

Ralph Compton's name is splashed in huge letters at the top of the cover page and only in small print at the bottom do you learn that Peter Brandvold actually wrote the novel. It is, however, a good western concerning a range war that ensues when a prominent rancher is murdered. Recommended to weste......more

Goodreads review by Benjamin

Great sequel to Navarro. A range war between two competing land owners always makes for a fun plot and when in the hands of "Mean Pete" Brandvold, they're even better. Tom Navarro is a great character, partly because he isn't a young whippersnapper but is instead a seasoned leader with a good sense......more
