Comments: I'm reviewing this because today is Western day at the SuperLibrarian site, and this was the last western I read. It was very good. It combined the allure and danger of historic no-man's land Arizona with a strong heroine and an equally strong, but nurturing hero. When a mining accident kills a group of men, the widows are swindled and left to fend for themselves. They do it, but via cunning ways, make sure the mine owner pays in one way or another for his misdeeds. When he hires a former sheriff to find out and eliminate whoever is thwarting him. It's love and misdeeds galore. Good job, Cathy.
