(Paperback)
Author Martin Hollingshead's unique voice provides Palo Verde: The Wanted Poster with a fascinating narrative. While the perpetrators of the crimes are immediately apparent, revealing their motivation is similar to peeling the layers of an onion. Each new revelation provides an intriguing look into the black heart of a killer and his boss, even as their ineptitude makes for startling humor. Marshal Pappy is amazingly adept at avoiding bullets and pursuit. Indeed, his marvelous character will have readers eager for other books in this early 1900 series. Hollingshead's attention to detail, including the use of new scientific methods to convict criminals, is absolutely fascinating. With this skillful author's pen, the Old West comes to life with the voice and background to make it vividly real. Cindy Penn, Senior Editor, WordWeaving
