CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR MICHAEL ZIMMER: >--STARRED Booklist on The Poacher's Daughter "a straightforward, suspenseful western, full of border lore and Zimmer's amazing knowledge of firearms." --Booklist on Leaving Yuma "The chase scene in the rocks, in which Wil and his sweetheart find refuge in a fearsome, bat-infested cave, is as harrowing as any you'll read . . . this is a fine western, full of amazing gun lore and agreeable horse sense." --Booklist on Rio Tinto "Zimmer (Johnny Montana, 2010; The Long Hitch, 2011) demonstrates again why he's one of the more interesting voices in western fiction. What could have been a simple, straightforward story about a boy who gets mixed up with some desperadoes is transformed, through a clever story structure, into something with unexpected depth. It's a very personal storytelling style--Roper talking directly to the reader--and, at times, we can hear the wistfulness in his voice, the bittersweet memory of a time when he and the country were raw, young, and full of hope and promise. A stirring tale, well told." --Booklist on City of Rocks, a Booklist Top 10 Western selection 2012
