Milo Talon by Louis L'Amour
4.0
Milo Talon has a reputation for being able to find things, mostly the result of his knowing more than a few outlaws. He does not have any experience as an investigator but nevertheless, a rich man hires him to hunt down his missing granddaughter. The pay is good, so Milo takes the case. But it is soon evident that not everything is on the up and up. Some people have already died, and their little town is being overrun with hired guns.
Milo Talon is a cousin to the famous Sackett family, and his nature fits in well with theirs. A good day’s work for a good day's pay…never quit a job…loyalty to family and friends is paramount. Most of this novel is fairly typical of Louis L’Amour’s work, although I maintain that he was remarkably successful in keeping his stories from becoming formula repeats. This one too has several surprises along the way including a really interesting nice old couple who lives in the mountains who are not at all what they first seem.
Another enjoyable western yarn from the master.
