December 12, 2006: Stretch Dalton quickly becomes one of the most likeable characters you will meet on the written page. He?s a lawman and a single dad and one has to wonder how he manages to keep everything in perspective as he handles the everyday challenges of an active rural community. Throw in an eerie dream and the haunting find of a handless mummy and you have the elements for a great ride through this fascinating story. I certainly hope to see more from this author.

December 07, 2006: Frank C. Humphrey has accomplished what few writers can in their first novel in that he successfully tells two stories at the same time?.except they are a century apart. His masterful weaving of suspense through both time periods kept me turning pages until I finished the book in one evening. If you like Westerns, rural drama, and suspense?with a bit or horror to make you look over your shoulder every once in awhile, this is a book you will enjoy.
