Slattery is a former gun-hand who helps a group of settlers with a cattle drive to a Montana promised land; but when they get there, they find a cruel ranch owner holding secret sway in Steven C. Lawrence's North to Montana.
Soon enough, Slattery's old gunfighting skills come in handy.
I found a Slattery book in a goodbye pile in a flea market and have been on a bender ever since, this being the third this year. I really enjoy the hard-boiled style, reminiscent of one of my favorites, Ben Haas (John Benteen). A big shoot-out in a sub-zero blizzard at the denouement adds value.
I feel like Lawrence and Slattery isn't on the radar for a lot of western readers, and should be.
I checked this one out from the Henry County-New Castle Public Library in New Castle, Indiana and read it quickly.
