Query: A Bang-up Historical Western

The title of "Gun Man" makes it sound like a generic Western, but it ain't. Loren Estleman, a fine writer, created a very convincing hero (or anti-hero) in Gene Morner, a youth who becomes an outlaw through no real fault of his own. Having strayed from the path of strict virtue, Morner proceeds to Go Wrong in the grand style, becomes a gunfighter, gets involved in the Kansas-Missouri border wars, and has many colorful adventures before catching a bellyfull of lead. Estleman has a very good ear for dialogue, and does a nice treatment of the historical background. Four stars.
