<p>Ex-Pinkerton detective Joshua Dillard is a man given to doing only what he has a mind to. So he refuses arrogant Omaha financier Fergus O'Callaghan's money but rides the trouble-busting trail to Nebraska's Sandhills anyhow. In that country are his dead wife's brother Tom Holley a tenderfoot deputy sheriff unversed in the frontier's wicked ways and beautiful Ruth Swain plucky widow of a murdered homesteader. Both are up against the odds and Joshua is set to fight for them - but a drygulcher's bullet pushes him to death's brink... <br> </p><p>Chap O'Keefe takes a traditional Western plot and as usual spins it into something more with clever plot twists well-developed and interesting characters and plenty of tough hardboiled action scenes. Joshua Dillard has turned into one of my favorite Western characters. Although he's fast with a gun and can handle himself just fine in a fistfight he's hardly a superman but rather a flawed but determined man trying to make his way on a brutal frontier... <em>The Sandhills Shootings</em> is one of Chap O'Keefe's early novels and the third published to feature Joshua Dillard... If you're a Western fan I highly recommend it.<em> - James Reasoner New York Times bestselling author</em><br><br>Joshua Dillard once again emerges as a wholly credible and eminently likable protagonist. <em>- Ben Bridges 21-time Kindle top bestselling Western writer</em></p><p><br> </p>
