Chilling and riveting, My Business knocks the breath out of the reader. The second book of the series, it is both a knock out continuation that you will never see coming, and a rock-solid story on its own. This is gritty, intense storytelling peering from the shadows. Again the Old West threatens to swallow up and spit out those who dare call it home. Life is pain, hardship, loss, and bitter truths in this time of lawless, and sometimes soulless, strife--but it reaches out through universal touchstones of the human condition.
R.J. Conn speaks to the juxtapositions of life: vulnerability behind aggression, the supple grated by the jagged. The two paint an elaborate world with watermarks from all eras and all places. All at once period and current, far and away, familiar and foreign, My Business speaks.
