I just finished reading another fantastic western (The prize fighter: Book #7 of the Abilene series by Justin Ladd) story which was well written and flowed beautifully. In this tale a prize fighter by the name of Seamus O’ Quinn who was out with his manager celebrating a victory that evening after a great fight, witnessed a ruthless murder. In the process the fighter was also wounded and his manager was killed.
All this happened on the streets of Chicago and a crime boss, Darius Gold, ordered the murders giving the job to his right man, Mitch Rainey. The chief investigator, Inspector Jack McTeague, on the case decides he must take the only witness (Seamus O’Quinn) out of town to hide from the mob who wants to kill him.
They move to Abilene with a cover story that the prize fighter is training for a fight with his manager, who is actually Detective McTeague trying to protect Seamus from being killed before the trial in Chicago.
I never like to give away too much information when reviewing a novel, but if you like action westerns this book is for you.
Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Tactical Principles of the most effective Combative systems).
