Any book by this author falls within the range of 4 to 5 stars, always. I've been receiving 4 books each month in the Leisure Western Book Club for years, with Leisure republishing older books as well as new releases, with these 1987-88 books from R. J. Randisi being reprints.

However, that does not detract from readers of today who didn't get the chance to read them back then. To date there have been 3 books reprinted, DOUBLE THE BOUNTY (8/2008), THE LAWMAN (12/2008), and this one BEAUTY AND THE BOUNTY (6/2009). There may possibly be a couple more that Leisure Westerns may offer in the future.

This book finds Decker spending most of his time living in a hotel owned by a friend with most of his expenses covered. Decker is more grounded in this one staying in San Francisco for most of the book, with action being a bit slower in coming than in the other two books. This time he is on the trail of an attractive, elusive, female con artist, and a strange twist is, without one sister knowing of Decker's interest in her sister, offers to pay Decker to find her! Besides this venture several other items capture Decker's attention, like staying alive in San Francisco for one, with one heck of a brawl at novel's ending. Great reading.

One thing builds into another making this another light, but fine read from one of the better western authors writing today. If you are looking for a quick, absorbing western read, you are advised to try any of these books by Robert Randisi. He never fails to offer great reading.

Semper Fi.

NOTICE: This book is a reprint of the original printed under Randisi's Joshua Randall name, #3 in The Bounty Hunter Series, Beauty And The Bounty, January 1988.
Publisher was Paperjacks.
The reprint is by Leisure Books and the order book does not indicate it's a reprint, but the copyright date is listed as 1988.
Apparently Leisure Books is reprinting all five of the old series and Decker is the main character.
Stupid me, I've bought all three so far and keep forgetting.
