"You saw men like this coming home from war.Haunted was the only appropriate word."

I haven't read a Trailsman novel for some time as I have been concentrating on keeping up with the latest Longarm novels as well as earlier episodes.The Trailsman is also one of my favorite characters.While Longarm is a Deputy US Marshal and part of the Federal Justice system;The Trailsman is a man who answers to nobody but himself and roams the Old West and takes on life and confronts injustice whenever and wherever he finds it. This episode is quite typical of the kind of thing he encounters.It is a good Old West yarn,with lots of fast action and interesting,well developed characters.Some are fine upright people,some have felt the hard knocks of life,some have partaken in lifes pleasures;and some are evil and downright scum who need to be taken to task---and The Trailsman is just the man for the job. The other reviewer tells enough about the story,so I'll leave the rest to the reader. One thing about these western series that I like,is the artwork on the covers and trying to connect the images on the covers with people and scenes in the story. In this case,we get two great scenes.However;you'll be hard come by in finding riders shooting at the burning buildings ;and then the scene of The Trailsman defending the jail on fire behind him,just isn't the way it played out in the story---but a great picture,nonetheless. Overall,a great read,great artwork;and if you enjoy a good Old West saga---you'll like it.

Rattles along at a fair pace

Riding through the desert, Skye Fargo rescues a half-dead man on the run from the law. Fargo returns the fugitive to town, only to find that the accused murderer he brought back alive is sure to be lynched - even though he may be innocent. The elderly sheriff can't get the job done, so Fargo pins on a tin star and investigates. But there's more than one killer in this town...and all of them are about to take on the Trailsman. This book rattles along at a fair pace as Fargo, acting as a temporary lawman, struggles to find proof as to the identity of a killer. The author throws in a few suspects that help keep the reader guessing although he does reveal the who a bit early on for my taste. The book doesn't have nearly as much action as I've come to expect from a Trailsman novel but the plot was strong enough to hold my interest. There is something that seemed totally out of character though, and I quote, "Fargo had never given banks much consideration except for the idle thought about robbing one or two of them." I personally don't remember Fargo ever taking to the outlaw trail or considering it before. Particularly when you see the date the book is set, 1867, a few years after the majority in the series. Still, that aside, the book was entertaining and the cover seems to be showcasing a new artist to the series.
