Synopsis: |
Jess Dreer's father was lynched for supposedly murdering a man. When it turned out that another man had committed the crime, Jess waited for the Law to arrest the man who killed his father. When the Law did nothing, Jess killed that man and has been on the run from the Law ever since.
When Jess runs into the Valentine family, all he wants is to keep on running. But the niece of Morgan Valentine hasn't seen a man she can't plumb and Dreer is no different to her, until he reveals depths she's never imagined. Her flirtings have gotten a man shot and her cousin in trouble with a clan out of the Ozarks. Jess gets wrangled into dealing with the hired gun the clan has hired to kill the young Valentine and in the process gets caught and put in jail.
He eventually escapes, is warned by Miss Valentine of a plot by the clan to kill him and the book ends with him and her riding off into the dawn.

My Thoughts: |
Not bad, not bad at all. Unfortunately, almost as soon as I'd read it I'd forgotten it too. I actually had to go to a booksite to remember what this was about to be able to write the synopsis. Pretty sad eh?
I don't have anything to say. It's a Max Brand western written by someone in the 1920's for magazines. It is almost literally reading fodder and not meant to have stuck around as long as it has.
★★★☆☆
