Two-time Spur Award–winner Brett Cogburn brings back the true grit and glory of the Wild West with his second post-Civil War thriller featuring New York City policeman-turned M&K Railroad lawman Morgan Clyde. With a storm of hot lead he brought peace to the blood-drenched, lawless Ironhead Station, deep in the wilds of Indian Territory. Now Morgan Clyde, who fought criminals as a New York City policeman and Confederates as a Union soldier, has another war on his hands.Wanted dead and buriedThe bloody barbarism of the Civil War scarred Morgan’s soul as well as his body.

Then there’s the Pinkerton Detective agents, answerable to no law but their own, on a mission to execute him.And as his enemies close in, Morgan strikes with the speed of a rattlesnake, the ferocity of a grizzly, and the predatory instinct of a stalking wolf …

About Brett Cogburn

Brett Cogburn was reared in Texas and the mountains of southeastern Oklahoma. He was fortunate enough for many years to make his living from the back of a horse, where on cold mornings cowboys still straddled frisky broncs and dragged calves to the branding fire on the end of a rope from their saddle horns. Some folks are just born to tell tall tales. Growing up around ranches, livestock auctions, and backwoods hunting camps filled his head with stories, and he never forgot a one. In his own words: “My grandfather taught me to ride a bucking horse, my mother gave me a love of reading, and my father taught me how to hunt my own meat and shoot straight. Cowboys are just as wild as they ever were, and I’ve been damn lucky to have known more than a few.” The West is still teaching him how to write.

Took awhile to get the story started. I haven't read the first book and this one felt like half the book was recapping the first. It was very enjoyable after that though!

Goodreads review by Shawn on May 19, 2022

Not only is Call Me Lonesome a solid follow-up to Brett Cogburn’s first Morgan Clyde novel, Smoke Wagon, it is, by and large, a more satisfying read. What it is not is a standalone novel, which means that in order to make sense of the action and characters, it may be a good idea to read the first bo......more

Goodreads review by Robert on June 23, 2024

Another good one. I am liking this series. Smoothly follows the characters from the first in the series. Great grandson of the O.G. Rooster I believe for the author? He really does a good job of painting scenes for the reader to visually create the scene from the words. I also like the characters. T......more
