Synopsis

Not every Western hero wears a white hat or a tin star. Most of them are just fighting to survive. Some of them can be liars, cheaters, and thieves. And then there's a couple of old-time robbers named Slash and Pecos...

After a lifetime of robbing banks and holding up trains, Jimmy “Slash” Braddock and Melvin “Pecos Kid” Baker are ready to call it quits—though not completely by choice. Sold out by their old gang, Slash and Pecos have to bust out of jail and pull one last job to finance their early retirement...

The target is a rancher's payroll train. Catch is: the train is carrying a Gatling gun and twenty deputy US marshals who know they're coming. Caught and quickly sentenced to hang, their old enemy—the wheelchair-bound, bucket of mean, Marshal L.C. Bledsoe—shows up at the last minute to spare their lives. For a price. He'll let them live if they hunt down their old gang, the Snake River Marauders. And kill those prairie rats—with extreme prejudice...

Cutthroat (Pinnacle 2019) is William Johnstone's latest Western and the first of a new series, Slash and Pecos Westerns.

This new series from William W. Johnstone was a pleasant surprise. Interesting charcters and a different kind of plot. Still I'm a sucker for westerns, I can't help myself.

Goodreads review by Nolan on January 19, 2023

I have read all the other Slash and Pecos stories, but the library didn’t have this one until now. So, I got to read the first story in the series of the two criminals having to go after other criminals. Okay story, although I highly doubt a guy being shot a few inches above the belt in the side cou......more

Goodreads review by Denice on August 12, 2019

I love Johnstone books. I measure all other Westerns against Louis L'Amour and JA Johnstone. This is a new series with an even more unique story line and cast of characters than usual. In book one, CUTTHROATS, the backstory is set for two not quite reformed outlaws to track and kill the members of t......more
