Giff Cheshires Western stories are notable for their complex characters, expert pacing, and authentic backgrounds. In Blood Oath, Quincy Caine has been afraid of guns and gunfire ever since his bride was killed during an Indian attack. That certainly puts him at a disadvantage when he agrees to accept the deed to a piece of land at dispute in a battle for a railroad right of way. When finds himself framed for murder, he has only street-wise urchin, Johnny Renshaw, to side him.
