    About this audiobook

    They killed the new sheriff. Now they'll have to deal with Caleb York. Times are changing. Caleb York is saddling up to try his hand as a Pinkerton man out California way. But before he can leave Trinidad, New Mexico, a peaceful morning erupts in a barrage of gunfire. When the dust settles, Caleb has gunned down two bad men, with another just dodging a ticket to hell . . . but leaving one very good man lying dead in the street. Lightning quick, Caleb rides after the fleeing gunman, only to be swept up in an evil wind blowing back through the sleepy town, threatening its very existence. Caleb s only chance to restore justice is to load his guns, dig in his spurs, and take on a ruthless killer. In a town drowning in blood, riddled with bullets, and hoping for a hero, Caleb York is the right man at the right time ready to face the vengeful outlaws in a chilling, storm-swept showdown.

      It reads like a Western movie playing out in front of you. You can see the small town, the Victory saloon, and the sparse empty land out there beyond the town. All the usual Western stuff is here from the
      bank robbery, the duels on Main Street, the desperadoes, the swindlers, the country gal and her old pa, the wandering gunslinger, the town drunk, the bordello, and the barrio.

      What really shines in this book is not just the recreation of the Old West, but the explosive bloody death-dealing violence characteristic of Mickey Spillane's novels. Against the quiet Western backdrop, the
      suddenness with which blood, guts, and entrails erupt is shocking.

      It's a classic motif of good versus evil, although you wonder for awhile if good guy Caleb York, the quickest gun in the west, is going to stick around or if he'll just leave the town and Willa behind as he opts for more excitement in San Diego.
