All in all, an entertaining read, especially if you are a fan of Loren D.
But again, Estleman, because of his excellent prose and storytelling skills, keeps "The Hider" from becoming just another boiler plate thriller/western. Throughout the book, the reader feels he knows where this story is headed and there really are no surprises. Corrupt lawmen, gunfights, Indian bounty hunters, a teen on a quest, and a curmudgeonly protagonist with a heart of (maybe not gold) silver. Estleman throws everything into this novel. And although, Westerns are still not my genre of choice, Estleman is such a great storyteller and competent writer, I really did enjoy "The Hider". Estleman fan, I decided to give his Western a try. Throughout the book, the reader feels he knows where th Rarely, if ever, will I read a Western. Corral, and several novels and stories featuring Sherlock Holmes.Rarely, if ever, will I read a Western.

Another bit of proof of my "50 Percent Theory" regarding fiction, which I write about here. Oh, well, four out of five still pretty good shootin'. At first I thought it was going to be an Old West riff on "Moby Dick" it turned out to be an unconvincing actioner with unconvincing characters-why the three main characters form their alliance is neither clear nor believable. This, the 5th one I've read, published in 1978, not so. Another bit of proof of my "50 Percent Theory" regarding fiction, which I write about here: htt I've read 4 westerns by Loren Estleman that I thought excellent.
