About this listen

 He had led the posse for miles through the desert, but now Matt Keelock was growing desperate. He was worried about Kristina. His trip to the town of Freedom for supplies had ended in a shootout. If caught he would hang. Even though Kris could handle a horse and rifle as well as most men, the possibility of Oskar Neerland’s finding her made Matt’s blood run cold. He knew the violent and obsessive Neerland, publicly embarrassed when Matt had stepped in and stolen Kris away, would try to kill them both if given half a chance. Matt tried to convince himself that Neerland had returned to the East. But Matt was wrong. Miles away in the town of Freedom, Oskar Neerland was accepting a new job. In his first duty as marshal, he would lead the posse that was tracking down Matt Keelock. Action & Adventure Fiction Genre Fiction Historical Fiction

This was a trip down memory lane for me. I was a big L.A. fan back in the day and read most of his books in paperback. From memory they were all damn good reads, solid stories about simple people in hard rugged places. I can't remember reading a bad book in the collection and this one is a fine example of the western genre before it got woke. This is a love story in many ways, set to a backdrop of lost gold and the morality of vengeance. Chivalry without the armour in a land where castles are made from canyons, their colours changing with the dying sun. A fine reading of a simple story told well.
