High Country Killers, the fourth book in the Jake Silver Adventure Series, is yet another riveting, action-packed novel by Jere D. James. James once again sets his main character, U.S. Deputy Marshal Jake Silver, in the Arizona territory in 1889 in the Mogollon Rim country in northeastern Arizona. The author introduces a host of murderous, villainous men, all intent on grabbing up as much of the pristine land as they can by killing and abusing the owners. The plot thickens as Jake Silver slowly untangles the intricate web of evil. All of James' books have a historical bent, but High Country Killers is the most historical yet. References to the Hashknife, the million acre cattle ranch owned and operated by the Aztec Land and Cattle Company are plentiful, as is the use of real people who served as sheriffs or outlaws. As always, the author maintains his knack for writing a superb ending, and the final scene in High Country Killers may be his finest yet and, as Shirley Johnson, Senior Reviewer for MidWest Book Review said, "...it will have you drop your jaw in surprise. Excellent!
