And I wish people had read him And me P Guilt of a Killer Town What a fun read I enjoyed it had most of the tropes you would want in any good western I m definitely going to look for of Patten s stories If you have a chance and can pick this one up I would definitely recommend it Guilt of a Killer Town A perfect short Western novel from one of the masters Never read a bad Patten Frank came back to his hometown after a 2 year stint in jail for attacking a judge that sentenced his father to death He just wanted a chance to start over but the town wanted him gone real bad What did they know that he didn t He couldn t convince them he wasn t back for revenge like they thought.
Aka Lewis Ford Len Leighton Joseph Wayne with Wayne D Overholser Lewis Byford Patten was a prolific author of American Western Novels born in Denver Colorado Often published under the names Lewis Ford Len Leighto and Joseph Wayne A Spur Award winning Author The minute he rode into his old hometown Medicine Arrow Frank Kailey knew something was wrong Behind the blank stares of his former friends lurked a terrible secret a secret that directly involved him What it was Kailey didn t know But one thing was perfectly clear Because of it the whole town was ready and eager to kill and Kailey was their number one target Available only in Western 8 14 Guilt of a Killer TownThis book and Death of a Gunfighter are my two favorite favorites of Patten s many books He remains the major influence in my own western noir writing style he didn t think he had reason for wanting revenge. Highly recommended A fast paced read with good characters Its a simple story really but Patten does the short novel as well as anyone Guilt of a Killer Town Lewis B Patten has the reputation of writing bleak oppressive and dramatic western stories The guilt of a Killer Town is a prime example of that reputation being put to paper The human emotions are the real stars of this story and the characters that populate the story are bleak oppressive and dramatic The author s writing is simple and straightforward and his storytelling style is very enjoyable This is not an action oriented novel but the action sequences are well done and help support the overall drama of the story If you like this style of western then Guilt of a Killer Town is one of the best representatives of it that I have read Guilt of a Killer Town
