Een Texaanse jager vindt een aantal lijken, een partij heroi ne en een tas geld en beseft dat hij opgejaagd wild zal zijn als hij de tas meeneemt.
There is a lot of Racism in this book that can't be explained as part of the plot. There are things done really well, live capturing the vernacular of a place, but I'd have trouble recommending this one.
I was pretty disappointed by this book. I found the story it tells to be overly simplistic and focussed on guns and blood at the expense of developing characters, places or motives. The action is taut enough that I could see the film being rather good, but the book feels too much like it was actually meant as a screenplay to stand up on its own.
