Book Review By Lucy Johnson
Passin' Through by Louis L'Amour

They called him Mr. Passin' because he was always just passin' through, never looking for trouble. But trouble always seemed to find him. When he escaped from an unsuccessful hanging, he ran straight into a web of deception and murder. So with a hanging posse on his trail, Passin' also had to figure out who was trying to swindle who out of the Phillip Ranch while staying one step ahead in the game. Could he stay alive long enough to do it and would Janet Le Caudy be there waiting if he did?
