Stranger in Thunder Basin [Large Print]

The fiction of John D Nebitt is always excellent. "Stranger in Thunder Basin" is another notch in his artistic belt that jumps out at you. From the opening chapter, where a young Eddie Dawes witnesses has fathers' murder, to the deliberate journey to find the truth about the day. The King Diamond Ranch seems to be home to many of the answers, and once Bridge, the man who killed his father is gone, the issue is still unsettled. The "Dead Hand" theory holds sway in this territory, and the circuitous path is satisfying. Mr Nesbitt writes a great novel. Like his previous efforts, "Stranger", is a good read, just after Tombstone, and Gunsmoke... Tim Lasiuta
