Ralph Compton Reunion in Hell
ByPublisher Description
A farmer is pulled into the world of outlaws when his estranged brother turns up dead in this new Ralph Compton Western.
Brothers Clay and Cal Breckenridge, sons of a hardscrabble East Texas farmer, never did see eye to eye. Clay, the eldest, returned home after the Civil War to help his father run the family farm; Cal deserted his military post and disappeared into a new life with a new name. Everyone knew who was the good son and who was the bad.
Clay had almost forgotten his wayward brother until the morning a limping horse approaches the farm with young Cal Breckenridge’s body slumped in the saddle, shot in the back.
Vowing to avenge Cal’s death, Clay sets off on a perilous journey across the West to find the man responsible and bring him to justice—and take down an outlaw enterprise in the process.

“I'd never read a Western before, but this was pretty good! I'd read more of them. Good action, easy enough read, likeable characters. The ONLY thing I'd complain about here is that, while I got a feel for what the characters were about, I never really could picture what they look like. Just a little more character description would have been good. As it was, I was picturing all the male cowboys either looking like Clint Eastwood from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly or James Marsen from Westworld!”
