Synopsis

Johnstone Country. Where it's never quiet on the Western front.

Life on the straight and narrow is easier said than done for a pair of crooks like Jimmy "Slash" Braddock and Melvin "Pecos Kid" Baker. But these reprobates are doing their damnedest to make an honest go of it. They've managed to safely deliver a church organ to a mountain parish when their sometime employer—Chief US Marshal Luther T. "Bleed-'m-So" Bledsoe—recruits them for a job only fools would take.

Marshal Bledsoe wants them to pick up a shipment of gold in the mining town in the Sawatch Mountains. Here's the catch: Slash and Pecos's wagon is just a decoy. When a ruthless gang ambushes the real gold shipment, it's up to Slash and Pecos to go after the trigger-happy bandits. And they won't be alone. A lady Pinkerton, Hattie Friendly—who is anything but—survived the ambush and is hellbent on getting the gold back. Even if she has to team up with a pair of ornery old cutthroats like Slash and Pecos . . .

The Cutthroats are back. The bad guys are history.

First, I like Westerns and I'm always up to try a new one out. Second, I really don't like ragging on authors because ANYONE that can get to "The End" of their writing a novel and get it published gets mad props in my world. So I'll try not to be too hard on the mysterious author. Because you see, thi......more

The two former cutthroats, Slash and the Pecos River Kid, face the biggest challenge of their new straight and narrow lives - guard a hundred thousand dollars worth of gold bullion instead of stealing it.

Goodreads review by Nolan on September 12, 2020

J.A. Johnstone, the niece of William Johnston (who by the way passed away October 15, 2010) popped out another story of Slash and Pecos. Will Slash get the nerve up to ask the woman, Jaycee Breckenridge to marry him or will he chicken out? Good story. Two young "purty" female law officers added was......more

Goodreads review by Bow on May 15, 2021

Slash and Pecos are back and even better than ever. This book goes for a more slower pace and favors fleshing out the duo more in this adventure. Hattie was a welcome edition giving the duo an outsider to bounce off of. All in all it stacks up with the first novel making it a very good entry to the......more
