Concho Smith is riding towards Mexico, when
he stops to assist a ranchwoman, Judith Van, in
Devil's Rim. In return, Concho is given use of the
barn for the night and at daybreak finds himself
with plenty of work available for him to do, including
branding cattle and mending gates. Judith's husband,
Sid, has been crippled recently in an accident earlier
and has become a bitter drunk incapable of regular
chores and keeping his cattle from wandering into
the large acres of land owned by his neighbor, Bob
Shiner. Concho soon finds out the hard way that there
is more than a simple land dispute between the
neighboring Shiners and the crippled Sid Van. He
also finds himself falling for Sid's wife Judith,
which makes him feel terribly guilty. Concho
finds himself in a struggle to do what is right in
the face of temptation, maintain his good name
proud and prove that he is more than just the
typical lazy drifter passing through town.
Devils' Rim is a great western full of fights, cattle ranching, romance and even a little mystery. A quick and light adventure that western fans will love. Return to Book Reviews Index |
