Synopsis

"A cold day in hell descends upon Texas when mountain man sharpshooter Smoke Jensen pins on a tin star to tackle a wild bunch of bloodthirsty outlaws in this gun-blazing novel from national bestselling authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone.

Jonas Madigan is dying. He spent his life taming towns and upholding justice across the west with no regrets. Along the way, Madigan took the measure of good men like Smoke Jensen, who has traveled to Salt Lick, Texas to pay his respects to the lawman. But when bandits gun down the small town’s current marshal—and Smoke sends the killers to Boot Hill—Madigan asks his friend to wear the badge and keep the peace until a permanent replacement is sworn in.

Turns out the bandits were members of Bishop’s Mauraders, a twenty-man gang of trigger-happy thieves led by the vicious and venomous Snake Bishop—and they’ve set their sights on Salt Lick. They’re due to arrive at the same time as a monstrous blizzard that’s covering up the countryside. Now, it’s up to Smoke to turn the townspeople into a posse to defend their lives and land from both mother nature and man’s worst nature.

Cruel Winter of the mountain Man by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone is a standard western, nothing much to write home about.

Goodreads review by Richard on April 21, 2023

Cruel Winter of the Mountain Man is a classic, somewhat formulaic Western with some larger-than-life characters reminiscent of Hollywood's golden era of Westerns that made so many actors household names. And that's what makes it entertaining. Protagonist Smoke Jensen is everyone's favorite neighborh......more
