    About this audiobook

    They tried to tell him that his father had killed himself, but Kearney McRaven knew better. No matter what life had dealt him, his father would go down fighting. And as he delved deeper into the mystery, he learned that just before his father died, the elder McRaven had experienced a remarkable run of luck: he'd won nearly ten thousand dollars and the deed to a cattle ranch.

    Not yet eighteen, Kearney was determined enough to track down his father's murderer and claim what was rightfully his. Now, followed every step of the way by a shadowy figure, Kearney must solve the mystery of his father's hidden past-a past that concealed a cold-blooded killer who would stop at nothing to keep a chilling secret.

      Kearney McRaven is 17, but has been doing a man's work for several years. When he is bereft of his father under suspicious circumstances, he finds himself alone in the world, aside from some newly discovered cousins who are doing their best to kill him.Good solid L'Amour book, with a slightly different plot from the 'standard' Western novel, interesting characters, and enough intrigue and action to keep a sleepy person awake for just a little longer...
    • 4/5
      One of my favorites. Young Kearney McRaven doesn't realize his father's past is catching up with them until his father is murdered. He then embarks on a lonely trail to discover who he is, who is trying to kill him and why, and where he belongs in the world. Along the way, he meets a branch of his family with evil in their souls.

      just good clean fun!!!
