Orin Chantry: Bounty Hunter: A Gunfight Approaches
(2025)(The eighth book in the Orin Chantry Western series)
A novel by Mike Mackessy
The eighth exciting Western adventure in a series from Mike Mackessy!
Orin learns that an outlaw leader with money to burn is hiring a gang of twenty of the worst of the worst. The purpose: to attack the ranch his wife Hanna and her family run near Taos, New Mexico. Orin tries several times to take his deputies with him to defend the ranch, but something always delays his leaving. Sometimes it’s the judge with a warrant to serve, or rescuing teenaged boys thrown off a train, or simply rustlers hitting the Frio River Ranch.
Are Orin’s worries about his reception baseless or understandable and justified? How long has it been since he visited the rancho, though he sends a letter or a telegram every month? What about the people he has sent to the rancho for protection or to start a new life? Or the stock he’s sent Hanna over the years? He feels guilty for not being there. And her three brothers and her pa, will they re-accept him? Orin is not the same man they nursed back to health. He is an experienced Deputy U.S. Marshal, appreciated by Texans, favored by the judge in Fort Smith, respected by his deputies, and honored by the Texas governor. But is all that enough?
Most of all, will he get there in time to prevent a siege of the rancho?
