Gripping story, had me hooked from the start. Great setting in Texas, very moody and atmospheric. It's a bit out of the ordinary, seeing through the eyes of the hunter and the hunted. It drew me in and kept me there.

TOP 100 Kindle Crime
The scion of one of the West's great outlaws comes home from the war
in Iraq—Gilman James, the last of three childhood friends to return.
His brothers-in-arms are mere shadows of their former selves—Gil,
unmarked—determines to take care of them. But how far should a man go
for the people he loves?
Stepping across the line between right and wrong, Gil finds himself
stranded in the Texan desert—as a bank heist he's planned goes horribly
wrong. Pursued into the badlands by US Marshal John Whicher, Gil crosses
paths with Tennille Labrea; an outlander, with her own demons to fight.
Shielding a secret too precious to share with anyone, she's ready to
cross her own line in the sand.
What makes an outlaw? Marshal John Whicher, veteran of the First
Gulf War thinks he knows. But can natural justice ever outrank the law?
For three very different people a moment of reckoning is set in train:
violent, defining; inescapable.
One Reviewer Notes:
"An American Outlaw," by debut author John Stonehouse, is a powerful, smart, action-packed inverted detective story. Readers know from the beginning what the crimes are and who is doing them, it's the reader's job, and the job of the detective in the novel, to figure out the motives and how justice might best be rendered. The book has one of the most gratifying endings I've encountered in fiction this year. When I read the last page, I experienced such an emotional high that I immediately wanted to tell all my friends about this book just so they could eventually feel that good, too...
