Manhunters

By: Elmer Kelton

Narrated by: Jack Garrett

As he flees to the sanctuary of Mexico, Chacho Fernandez is unaware of the fuel he has added to the already simmering racial hatreds in and around the quiet town of Domingo, Texas. Through events set in motion by a misunderstanding, Chacho becomes a folk hero to his people and a dangerous fugitive to a group of zealous lawmen. Manhunters, the tale of Chacho's legendary flight, was inspired by the story of controversial Mexican fugitive Gregorio Cortez. In 1901 Cortez, a young horseman, shot a sheriff during an argument, leading to the largest concerted manhunt in Texas history.

Exceptionally good 

EK truly is one of the most gifted western fiction writers of all time. I have listened to many of his books and this is definitely one of his best 

MAN HUNTER

This is a good western. Chacho broke some horses for a rancher. He promised Chacho a certain horse for breaking them. Then he cheated him out of it. Chacho took the horse he was promised. The sheriff went to arrest him because the rancher lied and said he stole it. He accidentally kills the sheriff when he went to arrest him. Then Chacho flees. Then the chase is on. The rest is an excellent storyline and will keep your attention. I thought this was an excellent book. Jack Garrett does an excellent job narrating this book.
