This one was sitting on my shelf for a couple of years while I kept reaching for other, more glamorous titles. Finally, I picked it up and, WOW, it turned out to be a great read. There is plenty of action, intrigue, and suspense despite it's historical characters. Most of the book deals with Bill Tilghman's chase of Bill Doolan, a notorius outlaw and leader of the Wild Bunch of Oklahoma Territory. There's even some romance and soft-heartedness thrown in. I confess this is my first book by Matt Braun but will not be my last!

This is a very, very good book by Matt Braun. It is a story of part of the life of Bill Tilghman, a lawman of the west. This book deals with his trying to capture outlaw Bill Doolin. The book is very well written. It has lot of action and will hold your interest. You can see the characters in your mind, Braun has done a good job. Tilghman is tough but also has a heart. Doolin led him a merry chase for a long time and as Tilghman is thinking back in the latter part of the book, his thought is, "Bill Doolin somehow seemed the last of the breed." If you like a good western based on fact, you will like this book.
