Booklist

Spillane befriended Collins and, shortly before dying of cancer, gave him his blessing to complete any unfinished manuscripts. Since 2007, Collins has completed 26 Spillane novels. This is the fifth in the Caleb York series (e.g., Last Stage to Hell Junction, 2019). In New Mexico during the "Great Die Up" blizzard of 1887, Caleb York is settling into his role as sheriff, but he's thrown off his game when his deputy is shot in an act of mistaken identity. York quickly learns that Luke "Burn 'Em" Burnham is out of prison, 10 years after York put him in for bank robbery. Burnham is looking for a quick heist and revenge. Under ordinary circumstances, York would have been two steps ahead, but the blizzard puts York and Burnham on an even playing field. It's an exciting game of cat-and-mouse with an entertaining love triangle thrown in for good measure. Accurate details of the historical blizzard are a meticulous touch, and readers looking for more information will appreciate the informal bibliography.
