James Reasoner has become one of my favorite writers in just a few years. I’ve gotten to know him a bit from reading his blog regularly and swapping a few emails. He can always be relied on for a great read, whether it’s one of his books or one where he works under a house name.
REDEMPTION: HUNTERS is the second book in his series of the small Kansas town and their new Marshall, former Texas cowhand Bill Harvey. A young man, he took up residence while recovering from a leg gore by an old steer and ended up marrying his nurse, Eden.
In this volume, word comes that a band of Pawnee have left the reservation and are on the warpath. The townspeople are nervous, rightly so, and things aren’t helped when a band of buffalo hunters ride into town late one night one step ahead of the Pawnee after a scuffle that left a group of young males dead, one escaping to fetch the rest.
Bill has another problem. There’s a murderer loose in town and he seems to be trying to incite something between the Pawnee and the town, to what end Bill doesn’t know. And who that mystery person is.
A fine novel and a fine series. I look forward to more entries in this one. Here's a link to purchase it.

My copy arrived in the mail yesterday. I really enjoyed the first one.
I’ll be reading very shortly. James Reasoner never disappoints.
You got that right, David. I’m constantly amazed at just how good James is for such a prolific writer. While not nearly reading everything he’s written, I’ve yet to find one that wasn’t thoroughly entertaining. Always get my money’s worth.
This book, and the first one, I picked up at the grocery store. The books are terrific and would have been fine reads no matter where I found them –but knowing from James’s blog his history of paperback reading and collecting, there was just a little extra fun at picking them up in an old fashioned venue. Both, great reads.
I miss that experience, Richard. No book store in town anymore(my health makes such ventures iffy these days anyway). Those times of finding some unexpected treasure you didn’t even knw you wanted until you found are one of the great pleasures of the reader.
