From Booklist:
The fourth in Brooks’ always entertaining John Henry Cole series finds the sometime lawman back in Arkansas, summoned by Judge Isaac Parker to track down a gang of renegades led by the ferocious Caddo Pierce. The gang is running roughshod through the Indian Nations, a forbidding wasteland where Cole was nearly killed 15 years ago. But the Nations is also home to Anna Rain, Cole’s first love, now married to a marshal, Jimmy Wild Bird. So Cole accepts the judge’s offer and returns to the Nations, hoping to rekindle something with Anna while helping her husband track Caddo and his gang. That’s what happens, more or less, but not without plenty of ambiguity on the personal front and bloodletting on the job. Among his many attributes as a western writer, Brooks describes violence unflinchingly, attentive not only to the archetypal conflict of the gun battle but also to the ugliness of its aftermath, as innards seep from dying bodies. Unlike many of his peers, Brooks is equally good with human relationships on the frontier, their inevitable transience as well as their embattled passion. Fine work in the western tradition. --Bill Ott
