Looking for Lynne — John L. Moore

Ezra Riley returns in this fourth in a series of contemporary western novels following the life of a rancher in eastern Montana. Fast-paced but with a poetic touch, the novel chronicles the challenges Ezra Riley faces from physical pains, a billionaire intent on owning his ranch, a radical environmentalist disguised as a government consultant, and an adventuring New York journalist. A new character, Barney Wallace, brings humor to the Ezra saga. Standing on its own, Looking for Lynne can be enjoyed without reading the award-winning previous books. American Book Award winner Shann Ray says of this book: "If you want the real blood and bone of the West, read John L. Moore. Carry this book like a divine message. Savor every word."
