Synopsis

A Friendly Place . . .

During a trip back east for a family reunion, Preacher learns that even the civilized midwest can attract a motherlode of trouble . . . especially when a gang of local bully boys decides to pick a fight. Now, wealthy landowner Elam Parks lies dead—and there's a $5,000 reward on the head of the man accused: the first mountain man.

. . . To Die

The fortune in blood money has dispatched a small army of bounty hunters after Preacher. Now, back in his once-peaceful homestead in the High Lonesome, as he sights down the barrel of his '33 Hall North breechloader, Preacher is ready for target practice. And he can't think of a more scenic place to pick off the bloodthirsty manhunters, one by one . . .

While there, he is forced to kill an "important" person who was abusing a sickly 7 year old boy. Fair or not, a warrant is out for his arrest and he takes the boy and heads......more

This is the third book in the Preacher series I've read and was mighty disappointed. Unlike the last Preacher book I read, the characters are extremely well defined. Not just defined in one place, but defined all throughout the book. That is what also makes this book odd. It's Preacher who seems to......more
