To do so, he bribes, threatens, usurps the law and commits murder in broad daylight.There is only one man to stop him. He is uncorrupted by politics and untainted by society. He is an individual who only needs his intelligence, his rifle and his principles.When an entire state is afraid of Goebel, one man steps down from the mountains to save it.'...McEwen's first foray into fiction is one of the most interesting historical novels that I've read in a while.' - Stephen England'McEwen's got a gift of writing cinematically.
