The truth will always catch up with you…
Skeet Jones is not happy.
His friends have just learned that’s he’s never been with a woman in the biblical sense.
Eager to put the situation right, they have taken him to Bob’s Place, a saloon that is very popular amongst the local men.
When Skeet arrives, he sees thirteen-year-old Angela, who has just been purchased by the most powerful man in the town of Calhoun.
Skeet is desperate to help her but when the man refuses to let her go, Skeet shoots him and makes a run for it with Angela in tow.
Seven years go by, and Angela now goes by the name of Carrie Whiting – a famous singer known as the Songbird of the West.
Skeet gets her to sing in his saloon in the small town of Dry Creek, and that’s when things start to get interesting.
Carrie is kidnapped, which brings her to the attention of Detective Rance Dehner, a man broken by loss.
Once he finds the legendary Songbird of the West he is determined to keep her safe.
But as the body count rises in Dry Creek, Carrie discovers she’s not the only one who has changed her name.
And sometimes even that’s not enough to stay hidden…
Songbird of the West is a fast-paced, action packed western that is perfect for fans of J T Edson and Larry McMurtry.
Praise for James Clay
‘A thrilling western adventure and the perfect tribute to the old west’ - Tom Casey, bestselling author of Trade Off
James Clay spent his childhood watching Hopalong Cassidy on TV and devouring Fran Striker's Lone Ranger novels. Not surprisingly, he yearned to be a western hero. While toiling as a literary agent by day, James would write westerns by night. This approach allowed him to play cowboy while proving that he didn't always have to live off the work of other people. James is now a full time western writer. He lives in San Diego with his wife and two cats, all of whom, he notes, are very patient with him.

James Clay not only meets the expectations readers bring to genre fiction, he exceeds them. Songbird of the West features Clay's signature protagonist Rance Dehner, a detective of the West in the tradition of the "hard boiled" investigators who graced the pulp fictions of the early twentieth century. In Clay's hands, everything you love about Chandler and Hammett has been transported to a traditional Western. I have read several novels by Clay (including The Lightning Kid, Wild West Detective, and The Robin Hood of the Range) and believe Songbird of the West may be his best novel to date.Product details

MY THOUGHTS
This book is a rather fast paced book with lots of action and surprises around the page. The book didn't disappoint. Some westerns are the same thing over and over but this was a western that grabbed your interest as soon as Skeet saves Angela and runs away taking her with him. Back then a thirteen year old wasn't considered that young. I found myself turning the pages wanting to know what happened to Skeet and Angela. Was the man who had bought Angela on their trail? Westerns are one of my favorite genres and this one is on the top of my list. Skeet is not only protecting Angela but has some issues of his own to deal with. They've been running and hiding under assumed names but how long will that last before someone discovers who they really are. The characters are real to the imagination. You can picture Skeet with his saloon and Angela or Carrie as she is now known, singing to the patrons. Sitting on the edge of the piano with one of the revealing, for the time, outfits on. Such detail for the imagination to use to it's fullest. Truth has a way of appearing at the most inappropriate times. Just as you think you have it all figured out, you find an amazing surprising ending.
I received a copy of this book from the author and Pioneering Press and voluntarily decided to review it.
stupid ending
Excellent Book! lots of twists. As good as James' previous books.
I read everything by James Clay. Fun and thoughtful page-turners, all. I started this on a Friday night and finished it Saturday morning. Perfect weekender book.
"Songbird of the West" has been impossible to put down from the beginning to the end. Such a pleasure to meet up again with Detective Rance Dehner, a character introduced in Clay's earlier westerns. In this cleverly-crafted work, Dehner has to protect a famous singer and at the same time come to terms with his past loss. The plot is gripping and, typical of Clay, leads us to an unexpected but thoroughly satisfying conclusion. I hope we don't have to wait long before another Clay western appears on the shelves. They just keep getting better!
westerns have always been a favorite of mine Mt family were avid readers We had a horse and I loved to ride we lived on a farm. I love westerns
I’ve always enjoyed reading James Clay’s work, and Songbird of the West doesn’t disappoint. A compelling, twisting story line kept me flipping the pages and guessing until the very end.
As usual with James Clay, Songbird of the West is a fast paced story with good dialogue and non-stop action. I enjoyed it very much and look forward to the next one!
