“Pacy, thrilling, well-plotted, with convincing dialogue and an engaging hero in John Evert Burn, The Brittle Star is crying out to be made into one of the great Western movies. Dealing with the big themes of life, death, love and war, it is part High Noon, part The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. What an extraordinary debut novel for Davina Langdale; someone send this book to Clint Eastwood!”
