Synopsis
A suspense-filled western noir thriller set in California's Sierra mountains—for readers of Craig Johnson and C. J. Box. Tommy Smith, former sniper and Army combat veteran, wants nothing more than to be left alone to raise his young family with his deputy-sheriff wife, Sarah, as they run a wilderness outfitting business in the eastern Sierra ranching country where they grew up. A mass breakout at Folsom Prison shatters their mountain idyll and brings back the PTSD that Tommy hoped he'd left on the battlefields of Afghanistan. Although Folsom is a hundred fifty miles west, every new atrocity by the convicted killers places them closer and closer to Tommy and his family. The escape follows by some months the theft of prototype high-end sniper rifles from the nearby Marine base, a theft that the Corps was trying to keep as quiet as possible. Soon, Tommy discovers that the list of escapees includes a name he never wanted to hear again—that of Sarah's psychopathic first husband, whom Tommy had helped put in prison. Sidelined by law enforcement because of his closeness to the case, Tommy strikes out horseback and alone in a blizzard, where he must overcome his own demons to fight the all-too-real demon waiting for him up the trail.
My Review
This was a really good read. I like the fact there was so much action in this novel. I love westerns books like this one that have you the pages turning fast to find out what was going to happen next. I loved the fact that this ft like a more modern western and there was a prison break that led to an exciting series of events. I thought the author did a great job at creating such a wonderful sense of atmosphere and tension. This made for an exciting roller coaster ride of a story. I loved the characters they were very exciting and well developed but there was a fair few characters and I sometimes had to seriously think who was who. The book followed well despite the confusion with characters. I can't wait to read more books from this series. I recommend reading this book especially if you love those fast paced westerns novels.
So much praise goes out to the author and publishers for creating a very thrilling story with plenty of action. I will be looking out for more books by this author. Hopefully with a few less characters.
