The Sunshine Killers

I thought this was a fantastic Western story; and in all honesty I am not biased as I was the man on the original cover of the book; illustrated by my friend Tim Tanner; and it was truly a Sharps buffalo rifle I was holding when we did the photo shoot for the painting I modeled for.

This book should have been made into a Clint Eastwood movie when it came out. The main character, Saulter, seemed to have been tailor-written for Eastwood. The mannerisms, the laconic speaking style, even the cover of the original novel had a picture of a a man reslembling Eastwood aiming a Sharps buffalo rifle at an unseen target. As for the story, it was one of the best westerns I'd ever read. A dispicable main villain, a shadowy boss, and a foul-mouthed whore with a heart of gold she never let anyone see, were top-notch. Some of the other characters, namely Billy and Chiffo, were great. The final shootout is one of the best in print.
