About the Author:

Patrick Cullen (a.k.a. John Lescault), a native of Massachusetts, is a graduate of the Catholic University of America. He lives in Washington, DC, where he works in theater.

From AudioFile:

In 1877 when Flint is invited to establish a newspaper in an idyllic town in the Southwest, he finds himself in the thick of conflicts over the direction of the town's future growth. Incompatible personal ambitions, criminal elements and still raw memories of the Civil War all thicken the mix. Patrick Cullen has a comfortable yarn-spinner's voice and moves the story along effortlessly. He differentiates characters very little and occasionally mispronounces Spanish terms, but these are not serious impediments to the unfolding of an engaging plot. J.N. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine
