Synopsis

A new kind of hero in the Old West tradition, Perley Gates is as honest and good as his heavenly name. But don't make him mad. Because when Perley Gates gets mad, people get hurt.

Once every year, Perley Gates and his brothers lead the Triple-G crew on its annual cattle drive. It's a treacherous journey along the Great Western Trail, with a herd of two-thousand cows on one side and many opportunities for trouble on the other. This year, trouble shows up in the form of a beautiful young woman, her little baby, and her bizarre traveling companion—a colorful old cuss who goes by the name of Possom Smith. They're heading to a settlement called Butcher Bottom, and risking their necks to get there. Perley—being the gentleman he is—offers to escort the trio to their destination. But there are a few minor details they "forgot" to tell Perley . . .

The woman is a widow whose husband had enemies. The old man is hiding a small fortune that might get them killed. And Perley is stuck in the middle trying to decide who’s good, who’s bad—and who deserves to die first . . .

A neat and fun western with an interesting character that goes by Perley Gates. I really enjoyed the ride in this one. In some instances the book did start to feel like one thing after another just kept happening but I kept rolling with it and it was good. It worked. Perley is a cattle driver who......more

A pretty good adventure western. The hero is incorruptible, almost always right, very capable in everything he does, never misses, and never gets hit with gunfire. Its not impossible someone like this could exist, but they'd be the most famous person in the old west, not an obscure cowboy on a ranch......more

Perley Gates isn't your typical western hero. He is modest and don't like to show off. But he helps people when in need and he is fast with a sixgun, really fast. This is almost a cozy western, it's humorous and there is still action and gunplay. I really like this new series from #Kensington and th......more

Any Western with the name Johnstone attached is going to be a great read. Guaranteed. Add in Perley Gates, one of the more original Johnstone heroes and it's going to be a very entertaining read too. This saga finds our hero on a cattle drive, minding his own business, when someone asks for help. Th......more
