Death doesn't wait for Preston Diamond in Way-cross, it rides out to meet him. And when the “Presidents' man” arrives in town, Death is not long in catching up.
Way-cross is the hub of an illicit finance and real estate game that has turned sour. High stakes and rampant lawlessness have attracted the attention of the Whitehouse; Diamond has been sent to investigate. Staying alive is a full time job for the emissary though he occasionally allows romantic diversions. Will the most beautiful lady Preston has ever seen be the one to capture his heart? Or will she put a bullet through it?
I just finished exploring a couple of weeks of the life of Preston
Diamond. I have mused over the experience for a half an hour and must
turn in a review of............well, Fabulous. I feel a mild urgency to
run out and purchase the next in the series. I must say that for some
time through the book, I was reading through the eyes of the friend that
I feel I know so well, and thought I picked up a few chuckles that
others may not have the opportunity to appreciate as much as an old
friend, but soon realized that I was drawn into the story that was
described with a talent that overtook my imagination and had me looking
over Way-cross from my own vantage point. I thank you for sharing it.
