Synopsis

When a wealthy cattle baroness, Pamela Danvers, hires gunslinger Joe Buckhorn to track down her son, it sounds like easy money. But when he learns that the boy has run off with a girl—whose father is the leader of the cattle-rustling Riley gang—Buckhorn's only hope is to infiltrate the gang. Gain their trust. Live the outlaw life, even at the risk of death. There's just one problem: there's more than one gang.

The Riley girl may have stolen a runaway boy's heart but another gang is stealing the baroness's cattle. Buckhorn's sleuthing uncovers a web of lies that brings into question everything he's been told about the missing boy, the gang of rustlers, and especially Dan Riley, the gang's leader. Most surprising, is the identity of the weaver sitting at the web's center, someone who has a venomous hatred for Joe Buckhorn, and a plan to stop him in his tracks.... dead.

Another fun Joe Buckhorn novel! Started to feel a bit formulaic, compared to the first in the series, Buckhorn, but ended up different enough, and quite entertaining. Buckhorn is sort of like a wild west detective, and it's unfortunate there's only three novels in the series so far. Really hope they......more

I actually really enjoyed this one. I understand that these books are likely ghost written by random authors, but there's something about the style of the Buckhorn books that resonate with me particularly well. They're tight, got a good sense of style, and while they're cheesy they aren't laced with......more
