Synopsis

Johnstone Country. Mountain Man Justice. If there's one thing Smoke Jensen hates, it's a man who fights dirty. And no one fights dirtier than a politician. Especially a lying, cheating, no-good grifter like Senator Rex Underhill. Luckily, with another election coming up, this senatorial snake in the grass has some serious competition: Smoke's old friend, Sheriff Monte Carson. Carson's an honest man, and he's got Smoke's full support. But Underhill's got support, too: a squad of hired guns ready to hit the campaign trail-and stain it red with blood . . . Swapping bullets for ballots, Underhill's henchman make it all too clear that Sheriff Carson is not just a candidate on the rise, he's a target on the run. But with Smoke's grassroots support-and lightning-fast trigger-he manages to stay alive in the race. That is, until Carson's righteous campaign takes a near-fatal turn when the Senator Underhill tricks his opponents, traps them in a mine, and literally buries the sheriff's political ambitions. When the going gets tough, Smoke gets even. When this game turns deadly, it's winner kills all . . . Live Free. Read Hard.

Very good entry in the Mountain Man series. Recently the series had lessened to some variation of "treeing a town". That doesn't happen here. There is a lot that happens in the novel, but town treeing isn't part of it. The characters, the strength of all of the Johnstone Clan corral of books, are exc......more

This one was full of action and humor and gunplay, as it should. I really liked the fact that you get a new character in the series. That was really refreshing. I must thank #Kensingtonbooks and #Netgalley for letting me have fun for a couple of hours reading the latest about the Mountain Man from W......more

I only give this a 2 star because it is just OK. The Good: 1.) This story was very easy to read. I am not a strong reader and could breeze through 50-60 pages a day. 2.) Leo's character is well established. He is the only character that I felt had depth. I was rooting for him throughout the story. The B......more

Interesting enough story of Sheriff Monte Carlson running for US Senator of Colorado and Smoke Jensen helping him out as his campaign manager. The wild thing in this book is Smoke Jensen only kills four men. A new record!! There is a new character in this book, Leo Beajuex, the idiot. Very lucky you......more
