A trip to town and back for
Ellie Taine has gone very wrong as this western from author Bill Crider begins.
Just outside of the small Texas town of Blanco she had made the mistake of
stopping for the two men who seemed friendly. As it became clear they had
something else on their minds, she thought they only meant to rob her.
Unfortunately for Ellie, robbery wasn’t what they wanted. Ben Atticks and Jink Howard wanted something much more personal to Ellie than the few items she had purchased in town at Roger's Mercantile.
When they were done with her they left her alive. That was another mistake in a long line of mistakes in their criminal careers. What happened to Ellie is just part of this very good western from Texas author Bill Crider.

Originally published in 1998
by Dell Books, Outrage at Blanco is now available as an e-book. Reminiscent of
The
Baby Shark Series by Robert Fate in that a rape spurs a woman to seek
justice on her own, this western set in the Hill Country of Texas features a
number of interesting characters. A complicated tale of vengeance and
redemption for several characters results in a book that moves forward at a
rapid pace despite the many players and almost as many agendas.
