“Slyly ambitious, striving to pull off a trick nearly as tough as surviving a bullet to the head: to deliver old-fashioned, satisfying storytelling that critiques itself, insisting we move past those old fashions.” —Mark Athitakis, Los Angeles Times
“An audaciously told novel with an ending that is a full-hearted display of what happens when people care about others.”—Daily Kos
“Crackles with the whizz-bang action that any tale of gunslingers demands, but it also digs deep into the dark corners of [the Western genre’s] mythology.”—Adrienne Westenfeld, Esquire
