The Ranger

Ace Atkins
Putnam

Quinn has gone home for his uncle, the sheriff's, funeral. What he finds is that people are saying his uncle committed suicide, that his land may be owned to a corrupt town wind-bag, and the town couldn't find straight with a ruler and a level. There is so much crooked in this little Mississippi town that it's a wonder they can agree what day of the week it is.
For the most part I liked this book. I knew there was going to be action, but I didn't have a lot of patience for the story set-up. Once the first few chapters were out of the way I couldn't wait to see the end result. I feel that Atkins left an opening at the end of the story for a sequel-I'm curious as to what the conflict in that would be.
