Review
"A lean, muscular yarn with two very engaging heroes, a mildly involved plot, and a clear-headed style that reminds the reader of the Montana spring in which the story is set. Young Jason, whom we first saw as a gawky high school ballplayer, has grown up into a man to be reckoned with."--James Sherburne, author of the Paddy Moretti mysteries--James Sherburne
"Guthrie''s strengths include well-sketched characters, a sure sense of place and milieu, and a tale that hangs together well. In short, it''s entertainment of a high order that''s good to see back in print."--Dennis Drabelle, "Washington Post" --Dennis Drabelle"Washington Post" (03/01/2011)
