From the bestselling author of the Wild Horse Westerns Series, and the Hand Of Western Series comes the latest edition to the Gideon Johann Western Series, Shooting Star!
After hours of drinking and gambling, Jimbo Canton, in a drunken rage, murdered two miners and wounded an innocent bystander, Wyatt Roundtree. In the aftermath of the crimes, U.S. Deputy Marshal Gideon Johann is tasked with finding the outlaw. He and Sheriff Finnie Ford of Last Stand set out for Gunnison where they are joined by Wyatt's irascible father-in-law, Flame Calhoun, a man of some notoriety for having killed the outlaw, Hangdog Johnson. With Finnie and Flame driving Gideon crazy while they each try to best the other, the unlikely trio will journey from Colorado to the New Mexico Territory as Jimbo manages to stay a step ahead of them with a string of murders in his wake. While the lawmen are away from their home, an outbreak of smallpox in Last Stand will challenge the loved ones they left behind as they help treat the sick. In Gunnison, Wyatt's wife, Sissy, is tasked with nursing her despondent husband back to health and happiness. As the weeks pass, Gideon and Finnie will come to question their occupations as they miss their loved ones and face the carnage of a coldblooded killer. Shooting Star explores all the sides of a crime, from the outlaw on the run, the lawmen trying to apprehend him, their families struggling with them gone, to the victims left to rebuild their lives.
Duane Boehm has written another western novel with enough humor, heartbreak, love, and outlaws to keep you turning the page.
