Synopsis

JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. WHERE FAMILY COMES FIRST.

Ex-lawman turned cattle rancher Ty Brannigan loves his wife and children. And may Lord have mercy on those who would harm them—because Ty Brannigan will show none.

KILLER SMILE

No one knows their way around a faro table, bank vault, or six shooter more than Smilin’ Doc Ford. When he’s not gambling or thieving, he’s throwing lead—or, if he’s feeling especially vicious, slitting throats with his Arkansas toothpick.

Roaming the west with Doc is a band of wild outlaws including a pair of hate-filled ex-cons and the voluptuous Zenobia “Zee” Swallow, Doc’s kill-crazy lady.

The gang have been on a killing spree, leaving a trail of bodies near Ty Brannigan’s Powderhorn spread in Wyoming’s Bear Paw Mountains. U.S. marshals want Ty to help them track down Smilin’ Doc’s bunch. But when the hunt puts the Brannigan
clan in the outlaws’ sights, Ty and his kin take justice into their own hands—and deliver it with a furious, final vengeance.

Second western I read from Mr.Johnson and I really enjoy it more than Death & Texas books. Pro -Brannigan family: This western isn't just killing the bad guys or gun fights. It's more about the complete family of Ty Brannigan instead of a one man show. This give more depth to the characters and many s......more

Goodreads review by Denice on April 07, 2023

There is no such thing as a bad Johnstone western. Each series is built around main characters whose belief in the law and family is absolute, even if they've had to be reformed to get there. From Preacher, the original mountain man to the Jensen family to Perly Gates, to.....well, you get the point......more

Murder and theft along with kidnapping is all fun and games till you mess with the wrong family. Guilty pleasure yes as read but fun. In Johnstone's world...some of the damsels well are best not distressed unless a bad guy wants to be on the business of revenge served gun barrel hot.......more
