In Salt Springs, on the Fourth of July, a young man took a bet - and ended up broken, battered and fighting for his life...But Billy Piper didn't die. He just came back to haunt Salt Springs - with all the book learning he did during his convalescence, with all the love he had for a whore, with all the friendship he shared with an old cowboy who couldn't help see the difference between right and wrong.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Entertaining Western,
By BkWyrm (Norman, OK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Cold Place In Hell (Paperback)
This is the first western I have ever read, but I watched lots of westerns growing up. After reading a review in BOOKLIST that raved about this book, I gave it a try and really enjoyed it! I would give it more than 4 stars, but less than 5. The author has a very dry sense of humor, and I really was very amused at his wry wit. There are very interesting characters in this slightly skewed morality play. Since the author wrote screenplays for many of the westerns I watched growing up, I guess it isn't surprising that it is a thoroughly entertaining read!
