I was a little more than halfway through before I learned the sheriff's. A modern western, with pick-up trucks instead of horses. There were twits and turn and surprises with every turn of the page. The ending was a complete surprise. No one knows what lies within a persons heart until their life is on the line. no reviews | add a review

Crime's an ugly constant in the big city. L.A. Chicago. New York. But when a savage murder brutalizes a small town and neighbor turns on neighbor, a tough-as-nails cop is essential to restoring order. Blood Land is a gritty, emotional saga set in the Wyoming badlands with both greed and vengeance at its core. When billions of dollars in natural gas rights hang in the balance and the town's top law officer's wife is slain by her own blood, a reluctant hero is forced to battle his own demons and ultimately choose between justice, revenge, and duty. In the tradition of Dennis Lehane, Tony Hillerman and James Lee Burke, Guthrie's sparse, haunting storytelling compliments his talent for creating richly-drawn, unflinching law officers with human frailties and a sense of justice.

That said I must confess I had my qualms when I saw that it was self-published at Smashwords, where I have rarely found anything that was even readable, much less good. For me that imprint means not only self-published--a convenience these days--but also self-edited, or rather, not at all edited. Not in this case; everything about this book from the quality of the writing to the details of the text is nothing short of completely professional. ( )
