THE MOONLIGHTERS

A lady professional gambler rounds up some drifters to search for her late husband's gold in this Old West adventure. One woman and four dubious characters alone in the desert? Hm! Successful genre writing treats familiar formulae vividly and freshly. Everything in this book is a cliché, but deftly presented to hook and hold interest. Narrator Dufris seems born to this kind of material. He has the sound of the frontier in his voice, the ability to deliver sharp characterizations with subtle changes in accent, and a knack for suspense. Y.R.
