Synopsis

Town Marshal "Bloody" Joe Mannion is back in this third high-action volume in Peter Brandvold's explosive western series!

When Jeremiah Claggett, constable of the nearby ghost town of Fury, is murdered by Frank Lord, the kill-crazy leader of a dozen wild outlaws, Bloody Joe has to come to grips with the fact that he's inadvertently to blame. Mannion had turned Frank's brother, Billy, over to Claggett for safekeeping, setting off the chain of events that end his friend's life. Mannion is the kill-crazy one now. Not realizing he's being shadowed by Clagget's beautiful, half-wild granddaughter, Justy, and an inscrutable saddle tramp, Mannion sets out on his vengeance quest.

In typical Bloody Joe style, he storms Lord's gang single-handedly, which nearly proves to be his undoing—until he's set upon by a mystery 'Man of the Lord' and given . . . something. Whether that something is good or bad Mannion has difficulty discerning.

Saints and Sinners is a crazy, dark, storm-ridden ride through the hell of the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado. Whoever manages to ride out alive—saint or sinner, or maybe a combination—will be changed forever, baptized in gun smoke and blood.

Goodreads review by Jeff

If you have read the first two Bloody Joe Mannion books, be aware that this one has more action and is more intense than the other two. He has not one, but two gangs to deal with and his duties take him away from his new wife, Jane, than she is prepared to take. Meanwhile, Joe puts another town sher......more

Goodreads review by Pam

Best Joe Mansion book so far. This was the 3rd in the series I've read and in my opinion the best. It had a lot of characters but I didn't feel overwhelmed by them. I also felt this was fast passed like most of his other books. I was a little disappointed in the ending but have a feeling that he will......more

Goodreads review by Juliet

Great Read Never stops with many twists and turns in the action. The storyline of Marshall Joe fights all through the story to capture the Gang leader who raped his daughter, but the ending is a strange one. Not what was expected but still intriguing.......more
