Johnny Vermillion is a likeable scoundrel and star of the Prairie Rose Repertory Company. However, he's more than an actor: he's a bank robber. The troop members rob banks between acts causing confusion for the Pinkerton agent sent to catch the thieves.
This story is entertaining and swift-moving. The tale is filled with great imagery and realistic speech. This isn't a sterotypical western with high noon showdowns, saloon girls and school marms, and cowboys in black versus cowboys in white.
This librarian rooted for Johnny Vermillion the whole way and hopes Estleman will write more books about this scamp. The Adventures of Johnny Vermillion will be enjoyed by western lovers as well as readers who have never read a western before and enjoy a thrilling tale with engaging characters.
