Recipient of Readers’ Favorite Book Award “…I started reading it and couldn't put it down….” “Excellent story. I love the way this writer tells a story.” “…Roy never disappoints to provide a great read…” “…Can’t wait to see what comes next in the series.” “…There’s enough Texas history to keep things interesting and the stories are compelling. Fun westerns, well done.” What would you do if a teenager showed up and said he was your son? Slim Hanson is in for the shock of his life when fifteen year old Richie comes calling. His mother, Marie, who was Hanson’s true love after the death of his first wife, has just been murdered. The Midnight Marauder is on the trail of the murderer and faces his greatest challenge and danger yet. Will he survive? Readers' Favorite Review 5 Stars Love A Midnight Marauder Adventure is a true western novel that was an excellent read. When Slim Hanson discovers he has a teenage son, Richie, from a woman he loved very much many years ago, he is thrilled. Slim, his daughter, Charlotte, and her husband, John Crudder, and his horse, Midnight, welcome Richie into the family with open arms and lots of love. Richie has come because his mother, Marie, has been murdered and she had told him that if anything ever happened to her he should go to Bandera because he has family there. When John hears the story of how Marie was murdered, he takes it upon himself to track down the killer and bring him to justice. John faces many life-threatening and scary situations as he tracks down the bad guys. There were many twists, turns and alarming events that made it impossible to put down Love Child. I particularly liked that Roy Clinton made the story come alive and it was so very accurate to the time period. This is the first book I have read by Roy Clinton but I look forward to reading all of the John Crudder Midnight Marauder Adventures as soon as possible. If you like the ‘Old West’ genre, this book is a must-read. I believe this would make a great TV series or perhaps even a movie. I highly recommend this book for men and women, young and old. Thank you, Roy Clinton, for a winning book in Love Child. Be sure to read the other novels in the Midnight Marauder Midnight Marauder Return of Midnight Marauder Revenge of Midnight Marauder Midnight Marauder and the President of the United States Love Child Bad to the Bone Candy Man Also be sure to read Lost, about a modern-day cowboy, Clint Hazard, who succeeds in making an absolute mess of his life. But he finds hope….
