Reviews
On Feb 28 2020, a reader said:
Tracy Coleman took over the ranch when things were bad, and they only got worse. First of all, his foreman, George Pairvent, would not do things the way he wanted; secondly, Dan Stuart, a neighboring rancher wanted all the valley for himself; thirdly, Ann Stuart complicated things because she was suppose to be another fellow's girl. While this may not be the 'best' Haycox novel, it is still one highly to be enjoyed. Originally published in a magazine, this story HAD to follow certain guidelines in order for it to be published, so if some of it may seem "serial" in content, that is why. But Ernest Haycox was always pushing the boundries with his editors, and the escape sequence down the river with the girl is a fantastic read. Action by Night is well worth the cost and well worth reading time and time again.
