Synopsis

Once upon a time in the Old West, Slash and Pecos were two of the wiliest robbers this side of the Rio Grande. Now they're fighting three of the nastiest killers this side of Hell . . .

Not many men get a second chance at life. But thanks to a chief US marshal who needs their help, the bank-robbing duo of Jimmy "Slash" Braddock and Melvin "Pecos Kid" Baker are on the right side of the law. As unofficial marshals, they've agreed to pick up three prisoners from a Milestown jail and escort them to Denver. Sounds easy enough—until they learn the prisoners are an unholy trio of sadistic cutthroat killers known as Talon, "Hellraisin'" Frank, and the Sioux called Black Pot. And they've managed to escape before Slash and Pecos even show up . . .

The three convicts have turned Milestown into their own savage slayground. Drinking, killing, ravaging—and worse—they're painting the town red with blood and burning it to the ground. Slash and Pecos manage to stop them in a nick of time. But getting these three to Denver is another story—because the trio's leader has offered a thousand-dollar bounty to anyone who can kill Slash and Pecos. This is going to be one wicked ride that Slash and Pecos will never forget—if they live to tell about it . . .

I never read a William W. Johnstone western and to be honest, I still haven't. Seeing how the man died in 2004 and this was written in 2020. I have no clue how many books have been put out since his death, but it is an amazing amount. There is a publishers note that said that following his death, hi......more

I have read The Wicked Die Twice by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone. This is not the best work by this western writer but it has it's moments.
