The Burning Hills

If you enjoy western stories you will enjoy Louis L'Amour in "The Burning Hills".  The author is a master at painting word pictures in your mind.  He goes into great detail describing his characters and the story setting.  When reading "The Burning Hills" you can see the rugged red rock formations, the many variety of cactus, the tumble weed blowing, and feel the burning sun on your back.  His main character is usually a loner, Indian smart at tracking and living off the land, a top marksman with a gun or rifle, a great boxer,and loves his horse.  Then he encounters a beautiful woman, and he goes into a brain freeze.  In our story the two main characters are Trace Jorden, a man who is being hunted for shooting the owner of a large cattle ranch, and Maria Cristina, a Mexican woman who helps her family raise sheep.  I highly recommend that you read "The Burning Hills".  This story deserves five stars.
