I'd heard that Philip Ketchum was a good writer, and this novel -- the first by him I've read -- confirms it. This is a solid western focused on the sheriff-holding-off-a-lynch-mob plot. Ketchum proves to be an accomplished storyteller by taking a familiar plot and turning it into an exciting, vivid tale filled with interesting characters with well-drawn personalities.
