Where Law Ends

What they're saying about Where Law Ends

Book Reviews

Kevin Foley's book about the hipocrisy and greed in the old West is fascinating, couldn't put it down. His style of writing is so descriptive with out being verbose, puts you there, you can feel the cold, smell the trees and landscape and be blinded by the gunsmoke. When a writer can capture your attention so completely that you feel moral outrage and revulsion at corruption and injustice, he has done a fine job, worthy of the 5 stars.

*Amazon Review
Foley does an excellent job of ramping up the tension and keeping the reader involved. It's always fun to read a book that you can put a new spin on historical fact and make you think, "What if...?"

*Round Up Magazine – Where Law Ends
This well-researched Western gives Plummer a long-delayed day in court and completely drygulches such self serving histories as the ex-vigilante Thomas J. Dimsdale's The Vigilantes of Montana.
