Synopsis

Johnstone Country. A New Legend in the Making. The bestselling Johnstones kick off their blazing new western series with a real bang—a fatal, fateful shootout that sends a man named Buck Trammel on the ride of his life … WHEN WYATT EARP TELLS YOU TO RUN, YOU RUN. Once upon a time in the Old West, Buck Trammel was a Pinkerton agent with a promising future. But after a tragic incident in a case gone wrong, he struck out for the wide-open spaces of Wichita, Kansas. Working as a bouncer at The Gilded Lily Saloon, he hopes to stay out of trouble. But soon enough, his gun skills are put to the test. The Bowman gang shows up, turning a friendly card game with a Wyoming cattleman into a killer-takes-all shooting match. Buck saves the cattleman’s life, but at the cost of Bowman’s two sons. That’s when Deputy Wyatt Earp arrives. He warns Buck that he’d better get out of town, pronto, and take the cattle baron with him. The rest is history—if he lives long enough to tell it … This is the story of Buck Trammel. Hunted by outlaws. Fighting for justice. Marked for death. This is how legends are born … Live Free. Read Hard.

New character and a new series. Buck Trammel. Lots of action, fast paced and sets up a reader for the next book called Bury the Hatchet. Mistakes I saw. Back of the book says "The Bower gang shows up." There is no Bower gang, just a family called Bowman and they don't show up until after Buck Tramme......more

Goodreads review by Brittany on October 26, 2020

This would be my third western of William A. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone’s books. I have to say, I quite enjoy them. They have surprised me more than one, and on top of that, I get so immersed in this world that sometimes I don’t want to leave. Buck Trammel is one interesting character-one I really......more
