Brett Havolin was too late when he reached his friend Tony Mareno’s Flying Club outfit. Tony was already dead. The ranch was left to him, and Havolin planned to sell it and get out as fast as he could. But with his friend murdered, he wasn’t about to leave without finding the killer. Then the offers to buy him out started coming thick and fast, and Havolin knew the two things had to be connected.

It wasn’t until later, when he came across an unposted letter, that he finally understood what was really going on. From that moment, he was more determined than ever to track down the killer.

This was a good read with mystery on two fronts: who killed Havolin’s friend and why everyone is so desperate to buy the spread. Another great cast of characters and a story that keeps you guessing right up to the violent end, where a twist hits that you won’t see coming.

Once again, Barry Cord—Peter Germano—delivers a tale that leaves me wanting more of his work.
