Brady Kenton is driven to drink and distraction from his journalistic work when he is made aware of a serialised novel perhaps providing clues that his wife Victoria didn't die as was previously supposed in a train accident some 20 or 30 years previously.
Using clear and precise writing Cameron Judd soon captures interest in Kenton's search for the truth by unleashing a steady stream of threads that kept me wanting to run with each and everyone of them. Often when a thread was concluded another one or two would spring up and I found myself well engrossed.
Primarily based in Leadville and Denver in the late 19th Century, Judd used conversation and thought assessments of the principals with the odd bout of action rather than littering his work with period detail. You will not find many of the usual western themes explored here but this is a great mystery where for Kenton family became vastly more important than career and reputation.
