Synopsis

Stovepipe Stewart and Wilbur Coleman look like drifters, but don't be fooled. In this blazing Western saga, these two undercover cowboys get paid to find trouble - and to risk their lives to stomp it out. By any means necessary.

Vance Brewster is a hardworking young cowboy. Stovepipe and Wilbur are two new ranch hands working at his side. And all three are caught up in a brewing, trigger-happy Montana range war between the Rafter M and Three Rivers. Then the fury suddenly explodes - in a hail of gunfire, the three men must show their hands: they're all hiding their true identities. With Vance falling in love with the daughter of the Three Rivers manager, and Stovepipe and Wilbur paid by a tycoon who needs the violence to stop, all three are in mortal danger. Their real enemies are hiding true identities of their own - and they're not nice men. The body count is about to go sky high...and Stovepipe and Wilbur would prefer not be be on top of the pile.

I enjoyed this so much!! Narrative was great and I loved the characters. The only other Western novels I've read so far are by Peter Brandvold (which I love reading). If I compare the two, those have more action (more bad guys die..LOL) and this one has a more intense story line. Look forward to rea......more

Goodreads review by Harron68 on October 25, 2019

I wish I could be more positive, Johnstone's work I've read before (maybe only short pieces?) was good. Unfortunately, this book is structured more like one for younger teens.
