this is not like any other Ed Noon book I ever read. This is an honest to -- Ed Noon Western with Cowboys and Indians.
Action is the name of the game here. Our story starts with Noon driving through the lonely Wyoming prairie. He stops to change a tire and a small plane drops a ton of bricks on him. When the car won't
start, a motorcycle pulls up, ridden by someone more Marilyn Monroe than Marlon Brando. She's "as blonde as a girl can possibly be without breaking the law." She was "bottled sunlight" and Noon liked her right away. He liked her at least until he gets thrown off the cycle. Noon then discovers a naked woman stretched out like a giant X and tied to pegs in the ground. Looks like a busy day. But it ain't over, not by a long shot. In the weirdest western ever to hit the newsstands in the
early sixties, Noon meets a deaf-mute Indian Princess, the Sheriff of Nowheresville, a skinny dipping temptress, and a bunch of cowpokes Not to mention buried treasure and utter craziness.
Although its not the classic hardboiled PI story I was expecting, it's one hell of a good yarn and I have no problem whatsoever giving it the ole thumbs up
