Kendrick
Wayne Kendrick is suspicious. His best friend, Jim Carson, has suddenly disappeared, and Jim's claim has been taken over by The Blake Mining Company, which claims the land was abandoned. When Wayne meets with Jim's family, he finds the reason for his friend's sudden disappearance: he has been kidnapped! Reading a ransom note that Jim's family has discovered, Wayne promises he'll bring Jim home safely, aware even as he makes the oath that if his friend isn't dead already, he will be once the ransom has been paid. Wayne reasons that The Blake Mining Company has a part in Jim's disappearance and decides to spy on them. Disguising himself as a miner and buying space on Jim's land, he sets up his camp and begins his investigation. When Wayne befriends Davis, an abandoned African-American boy, he is led to a secret mine hidden within a mountain. Inside the mine, he is shocked to discover chained slaves forced to work the mine for their kidnappers. Risking both slavery and death, Wayne Kendrick faces off against the slavers to save both his friend's life and the lives of the other slaves.

I rarely read westerns, but we had this one and I decided to give it try.
I was pleasantly surprised. Kendrick is a warm, suspenseful novel with a bit of fun and romance thrown in.
Kendrick follows the story of Wayne Kendrick who pretends to be a gold prospector to investigate the disappearance of his close friend. They are some dangerous characters up on the mountain and Kendrick ends up having to deal with them all.
I was genuinely concerned about the characters. The story moved along at just the correct pace. I was never bored or overwhelmed.
I loved the resolution.
After reading it I read about the author and discovered that it was a woman...I should have guessed!!

Good story well written
While I may never get accustomed to Ms. Hilton's abrupt endings at least she leaves no flapping big loose ends. I do like the way her stories progress logically.

This is a good old fashion western adventure story. I loved reading it. The heroes and bad guys are real and memorable and the story is awesome.
