For a Texas Ranger, death is a way of life.
 
Wilkie John Liquorish may be a young man, but he’s no greenhorn. So far in his short, hard life, he’s dug graves, driven cattle, and nearly dangled from the end of a hangman’s noose—no thanks to his ungentlemanly enemy, Gentleman Jack Delaney. Now Wilkie’s been newly deputized as a Texas Ranger—and the real fun begins . . .
 
At Fort Concho, Wilkie John receives word that a bounty hunter is tracking the notorious outlaw known as Phantom Bill. Wilkie John has every reason to join the party: duty, honor, redemption, maybe even fortune and fame. But he has one reason to be wary: the bounty hunter is Gentleman Jack. He tried to kill Wilkie John once. This time, he might succeed . . .
 
THERE ARE TWO PATHS TO IMMORTALITY IN THE OLD WEST:
SHOOT FAST OR DIE FASTER.

It sucks cause I cannot find when I read it and what my thoughts were. Well Maybe I will read it again. I think I liked it. Must be cause after this book I bought many more books by this author.

After having read Corey Mitchell's "Pure Murder" and finding it very readable (and horrifying), I picked up one of Mitchell's earlier true crime books. I saw a show about Rex Krebs at some point (one of those MSNBC specials, I think), so I knew the basics of the case. The author spends a lot of time relating Krebs' childhood, which I didn't mind, but he paid little attention to the victims. And there were several chapters that were beyond plodding; they were essentially court transcripts with a few "he said" or "she replied" thrown in there to break things up a bit. Definitely not as well-written as "Pure Murder."
