HALL, OAKLEY

Ambrose Bierce And the the Ace of Shoots

E Rutherford, New Jersey, U.S.A. Penguin Group USA. 2006. (ISBN: 0143036815). Trade Paperback, 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Book, CLosed tear on bak cver. Bierce, the real-life nineteenth-century journalist, returns for his fifth adventure, narrated as always by Tom Redmond, Dr. Watson to Bierce's Sherlock Holmes. Colonel Studley, operator of a popular Wild West show, brings his extravaganza to San Francisco, where he is promptly shot dead. The prime suspect: Oswald Bird, a train robber with a couple of scores to settle. But, as Bierce points out, Studley's show is full of expert marksmen and one very special woman, and the identity of the culprit is far from obvious. The Bierce series, which has deservedly won Hall a legion of fans (including many noteworthy authors), shows no signs of slowing down--if anything, it's still gathering speed, each book just a little sharper and more suspenseful than the one before. Hall combines two very tricky genres, the historical mystery and the mystery with a real-life figure as its hero, and does it beautifully. Very Good.
