What do Westerns and detective stories have in common? Quite a lot, if you ask pioneering author and frontier lawyer William MacLeod Raine. In Tangled Trails, Raine brings together the best of both genres in an engaging mystery that unfolds in the wide open spaces of the Old West.
“Take the love affairs of a Montana ranger and a charming Wild Rose who walks like ‘a young Greek goddess in the dawn of the wold’ and you have a Western love story. Take a murder, with half a dozen people equally to be suspected, with a mysterious Oriental meeting an untoward and baffling end, and the murdered man’s attractive nephew pursuing and finding the real criminal, whose villainy is so well concealed that the reader does not discern it until the author wishes and you have a mystery story.” -Boston Transcript
“A William MacLeod Raine thriller. Its narrative literally flashes through three hundred pages of breathless excitement and mystery.” -Boston Transcript
“Mr. Raine proves that he can spin a detective yarn with the best of them.” -New York Times
