Synopsis

From America's bestselling Western authors comes the violent saga of the frontier legend known as the Town Tamer: the man who rides in when all attempts of law and order have failed.

In Broken Bridle, Wyoming, Jeremiah Purdy, the town's tinhorn sheriff is a college kid who wants to become governor some day. But outlaw Darius Pike couldn't care less about anyone else's ambitions. With Pike holding Broken Bridle in a bloody grip of terror, Purdy sends a desperate cry for help--to Shawn O'Brien, town tamer. Shawn's mission: ride to Wyoming and pry Broken Bridle loose from Pike's reign of fear. What Shawn finds is that something even more evil than Pike is haunting Broken Brindle. Now, in a storm of bullets and blood, in a deal with the devil, Shawn O'Brien can only tame this town by entering hell itself...

A shootum-up western with lots of people dying and some very bad villains. It kept my interest long enough to finish it.......more

This is the first book in the Town Tamer series I have read. I have really enjoyed books about the O’Brien family but not as much on this particular one. The story is a little weird in places. Still enjoyable reading, just not quite to my tastes.......more
