2.0 out of 5 stars Dynamite Walters' daughter sought revenge for his death., July 16, 2010

This review is from: Dynamite's Daughter (Paperback)

William `Iron Fist' Jackson and his gang used murder to gain and retain control of Canyon Town and to expand their portfolio of businesses. They also left former town leader Dynamite Walters and Walters' four-year-old daughter Susan to die in the desert. Although they were picked up by a passerby, Walters died later from the effects of being abandoned in such a harsh environment.
Sixteen years later Jackson was still in control of Canyon Town and Susan swore revenge; she learned judo and how to handle a pistol and a whip. She lived and worked in Phoenix - not far from Canyon Town - and joined the Ace Matrimonial Bureau hoping to hook up with someone from Canyon Town.
Conveniently, Jackson sought a wife and also joined the Bureau. Susan was happy to act as a potential sweetheart for Jackson so that she could get inside his organization in a bid to ruin him financially; Jackson not knowing her true identity. She soon made use of her judo, gun and whip skills against Jackson's men.
Jackson's nick name of `Iron Fist' described how he ran the town and his men for the previous 17 years. With those years of experience he perhaps should have been more adept at combating the problems that Susan threw his way.
Several aspects of the book stretch the belief a little. Susan overheard Jackson and his gang plan to raid the Chipped Cedar ranch later that evening. She heard them place the ranch about ten miles away from Canyon Town but not in which direction. She couldn't risk blowing her cover by asking someone for directions before deciding to set off in a northerly direction for ten miles finding the ranch as the third place she came across. How did she know she had ridden ten miles from Canyon Town? How would she know she was maintaining her ten mile distance from Canyon Town? And she would have had to have gone in broadly the right direction to start with to beat the Jackson gang to the ranch to give advance warning of the raid otherwise she would have had up to sixty miles of circumference to navigate and all this at night in country she was not familiar with.
