Book Review: The Bad Bad West
Summary: 3 Stars
The Shoekeeper keeps your attention and you don't want to put it down. However, the bad guys are bad and the good guy is just as bad. Sorry I cannot give Steve Dancy the title of hero. How can two wrongs make a right? By the author of "The Bluegrass Dream" and Natchez Above the River"
Summary of The Shopkeeper
In 1879, Steve Dancy sells his New York shop and ventures west to explore and write a journal about his adventures. Though he's not looking for trouble, Dancy's infatuation with another man's wife soon embroils him in a deadly feud with Sean Washburn, a Nevada silver baron.Infuriated by the outrages of two hired thugs, the shopkeeper kills both men in an impulsive street fight. Dancy believes this barbarian act has closed the episode. He is wrong. He has interfered with Washburn's ambitions, and this is something the mining tycoon will not allow.
Pinkertons, hired assassins, and aggrieved bystanders escalate the feud until it pulls in all the moneyed interests and power brokers in Nevada. Can the former city slicker settle accounts without losing his life in the process?
