    Hermann Kermit Warm is going to die. The enigmatic and powerful man known only as the Commodore has ordered it, and his henchmen,Eli and Charlie Sisters, will make sure of it. Though Eli doesn't share his brothers appetite for whiskey and killing, he's never known anything else.But their prey isn't an easy mark, and on the road from Oregon City to Warm's gold mining claim outside Sacramento, Eli begins to question what he does for a living- and whom he does it for.

    Ditto.  I've got two or three of them on my TBR already, so I'll play 'ip dip doo' I think.

    Mr Grey I don't mind at all if Henry Cavill plays you.

    Read and loved This Perfect World, A Cold Season still on my wishlist - but otherwise I think our TBR pile and Kindle have a lot in common Josie! I've gone for Pure...

    I've gone for The Crying tree, cos it's on my TBR, but some are on my wishlist, so if something else wins I might have to treat myself!
