Reckoning of the Mountain Man
(2026)(Book 54 in the Last Mountain Man series)
A novel by J A Johnstone and William W Johnstone
The Greatest Western Storytellers of the 21st Century turn the violence to 11 in the longest-running Western series of all time, as mountain man Smoke Jensen reckons he can stop a romantic rivalry from turning into a bloodbath—but he’s dead wrong. . .
As a happily married man, Smoke Jensen is glad his courtin’ days are over. Especially when two blonde beauties open a dress shop in town—and a big can of worms along with it. It doesn’t take long for the comely Caldwell sisters to catch the eyes of Sugarloaf ranch hands Pearlie and Cal. But the boys’ve got competition. Their romantic rivals are a pair of roughneck cowboys who are also trying to win the girls’ hearts. And willing fight to dirty. Smoke might find it all amusing—if it weren’t for the rash of crimes that broke out as soon as those pretty heartbreakers showed up. . . .
Cattle rustling. Train robberies. Stagecoach hold-ups. It looks like the work of seasoned outlaws, not a pair of dressmakers. Sure, the Caldwell sisters might be trying to swindle money out of Smoke’s ranch hands, but mastermind an outlaw gang? Doesn’t seem likely. But it’s true. Their stepfather is the notorious jailed outlaw ‘Whisper’ McReady. His stepdaughters are running the gang while he serves time. And when the gang leader busts out of jail, all hell breaks loose. ‘Whisper’ McReady may not be able to holler since he was shot in the throat. But he’s screaming mad over the girls’ mishandling of his gang. And now he''s taking control—not just over his gang, but the whole town of Big Rock.
Over Smoke’s dead body. . . .
