The lead character is Boyd Hutton, a robber, and murderer who kidnaps a Mexican governors' daughter. The story follows his escapades as he commits various crimes and evades capture.

Massacre at Aqua Caliente by Craig Rainey is a unique book which has murder, robbery and a criminal who feels guilty for his crime. The story is different. I'll surely read the book. Thanks for the free copy.

Thank you for the thorough review on Massacre at Aqua Caliente. Seems like an interesting story to me. The lead in the story is involved in crime, murder & robbery & trying to get a redemption. The way the opening scenes are written sounds to me more like a movie material. Would like to give this book a try!!!

Craig Rainey's massacre at Agua caliente is really a touching and fascinating story that reveals alot of treacherous terrains in the town of Agua caliente. It also demonstrate the extraordinary power of a gringo and an outlaw Boyd Hutton. Its really a play that is touching and full of admiration

This is definitely interesting, I always find outlaws to be very outgoing and intelligent in the way they keep getting in and out of trouble. I'm definitely reading this one.

...nothing in the man reveals his dark past and the present turmoil he faces while on the run.
Humanity's worst nightmare. Most people have very humble and calm appearances. But if you look into theit lives you will be shocked. Nice review.

Massacre at Agua Caliente by Craig Rainey is a Western novel about a criminal named Boyd Hutton, a complex character who is both repulsive and interesting (see EmunAhan's review), and it appears that he will not stop his lawless rampage until somebody stops him, that is, shoot him dead in a double tap for good measure. I sense that while the character is outrightly bad, the novel presents a morally ambivalent society in which Hutton thrives. Hutton's exploits reflect a corrupt society, perhaps? It's interesting how he gets his comeuppance, if ever. There are usually no neat endings in Westerns.
