Book Description:
No one breaks out of the brutal convict labor camp at Five Shadows -- but Corey Bowen is ready to die trying. They framed him to put him in there, and beat him bloody and nearly dead after his last escape attempt. He'll have help this time -- from a lady with murder on her mind and a debt to pay back. Because freedom isn't enough for primed dynamite like Bowen. And he won't leave the corrupt desert hell behind him until a few scores are settled...permanently.

Even in an early novel like this, Leonard creates realistic characters. The natural rhythms of the dialogue will call to mind James M. Cain and Hemingway. A minimum of exposition and description also mark his no-frills style. Leonard knows how to get out of the way, let the characters move the story along at a fast tempo. Highly recommended.

"Enjoy the good old stuff." So says the back cover of Leonard's tough and realistic western. My husband devoured it. When asked if he enjoyed the book, he said, "Yup." High praise from this man of few words.
Stephen K. from REDMOND, OR wrote on 8/20/2006...Good early Elmore. If you like his modern era novels, you should also like his westerns.
