A Lonely Place to Die
This tale of rangeland warfare is as good a novel as Louis L'Amour ever wrote. Pronto Pike and his partner, Eddie Holt, spend the winter on Hanging Woman Creek trying to fight off rustlers. When they discover that Ann Farley and her brother are attacked they fully realize just what kind of men they are in conflict with--for, "men who will shoot at a woman will do anything". The only problem I have with this book is, it is written in first person--I did this, I did that--and that is not my favorite kind of prose. But other than that this is a good book.
