Legendary national bestselling Western authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone return with the latest gun-blazing installment in their newest Smoke Jensen series.

JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. WHERE DYING AINT MUCH OF A LIVING.
 
Building a ranch takes heart and grit. Smoke and Sally Jensen are more than capable of meeting the challenges of shaping the land, raising the livestock, and establishing their brand. But Smoke wasnt always an entrepreneur. Hes more apt to settle accounts with a fast draw than a checkbook. And when he learns his old friend Preacher has been ambushed by outlaws, he wastes no time saddling up and hitting the vengeance trail with his fellow mountain men Audie and Nighthawk.
 
Preachers attackers have taken over the town of Desolation Creek deep in Montana Territory. Their scurrilous leader, Vernon Venom McFadden, has his men harrassing terrified homesteaders and townsfolk to get his hands on nearby property thats rumored to be rich with gold. Smoke and his helpmates drift into town one by one with a plan to root out Venoms gang of prairie rats and put the big blast on each and every one.
