Great surprise

I had never heard of this author and just happened to pick up this book. I am so glad I did. It is one of the best books I've read in a long time and I plan on reading all the other books by this author. I think it's a " man's" book, but it had me laughing several times. I can imagine what anyone would say when attacked by a barn owl!! Thanks Mr. Bean!!

High plains adventure mys.

Gregory Bean does an awesome job of capturing the flavor of life on the high plains and foothills of contemporary Wyoming.He is especially adept in his decription of both Wyoming wildlife and landscape. His characters are authentic modern Westerners and his portrayal of Wyoming pathos stings the imagination . Bean tells a "tight" story, adding no unecessary detail or event and leaving out nothing which might highten the sense of adventure his books give to the reader. I must say that I had trouble putting down all four of his novels once I began reading them.

Harry Starbranch is as exciting as Elvis Cole!!!

Bean's Harry Starbranch is as funny as Harlan Coben, as slick as Robert Crais, and as colorful as James Lee Burke! What a pleasant suprise! Great Wyoming color fills the sky as Harry goes beyond the call of duty to protect Victory. A "two-thumbs up mystery which will keep you reading through the nicest first class compartment of any airline! If mystery is your genre, this is a must read
