Synopsis

Matt Braun turns the classic elements of tough men and rough land into westerns that ring with authenticity. A native of the West and author of 31 novels, he bases many of his book on historic records. Deadwood draws on accounts of the infamous Butch Cassidy and his gang. The mountains and canyons of Dakota Territory create the perfect hideout for lawless men-Hole-in-the-Wall. It is into this wilderness that Luke Starbuck must ride. A manhunter determined to catch his prey, he knows that he's riding into a trap. He just doesn't know who has set it. Deadwood takes listeners deep into a world of conspiracy and danger, where Luke Starbuck will have to rely on his wits as much as his guns. Richard Ferrone's muscular narration is the perfect fit for a hero who casts a long shadow across the paths of the most deadly outlaws.

Goodreads review by David on January 03, 2021

A bit better than MANHUNTER--the other half of this two for one package--and sets up a potential conflict between Luke Starbuck and Butch Cassidy. Excellent.......more
