Here I go again ! "Pale Horse Coming" by Stephen Hunter... [View all]

This is my third reading of this book in the last 10 years.
And I have to say, it gets better every time.
I don't know how many thousands of books I have read over the years, but this one keeps showing up as one as one of my favorites.
Thebes State Penal Farm (Colored), 1950's Mississippi is the setting. Earl Swagger is the hero.
It is beyond my wildest imagination of evil.
Stephen Hunter is a great author. But, to me, this is his very best.
