Western

A lone rancher in high country finds himself facing a land grab by a family with thousands of cattle and bringing more hired gunmen than hired hands. Better than average L'Amour read, I finished it in one sitting. ( )

I'm a big fan of L'Amour after getting hooked by Lonesome Gods. I'd have to say Tom Radigan is one of my favorite L'Amour characters. L'Amour has created a perfect antagonist in Angelina. Radigan is about A land war over grazing grounds at the onset of winter, two men against an entire group of gunslinging cattleman. ( )

typical good guy wins, gets land and girl ( )

A fast-paced Western mystery/romance. A lone rancher finds trouble when a mysterious lady with 3000 head of cattle and 30 men comes to take his land.
**********
A psychological thriller disguised as a Western romance. Radigan must out-think, out-track, and out-wit his opponents if he hopes to keep his ranch and even his life. I was kept reading on the edge of my seat! The ending wasn't wrapped up neatly, leaving much to the reader to surmise. I would have liked a wedding!

(The reason I was so long finishing it was because I misplace it, had surgery, was in rehab for weeks, and couldn't find it when I returned home. Finally it "turned up" under a box of Kleenex! I started over again, and finished it in two days.) ( )
