Synopsis

They call him Ghost. A hard man with a hard past, Garret "Ghost" McCoy will never forget the day his family was brutally attacked by vicious marauders. It forced him to grow up fast, get tough even faster, and sharpen every skill to survive—by gun, by knife, or by fist. A true loner and silent stalker, Ghost is the kind of no-nonsense bounty hunter who always gets his man. Dead or alive. But it's only a matter of time before his reputation catches up with him—in a dusty dead-end town called Coyote Flats . . .

It starts with a killing. Three murderous cattle rustlers with a bounty on their heads reach the end of the line on the streets of Coyote Flats—where Ghost guns them down in a shootout. Impressed by the bounty hunter's gun skills, the leader of a local outlaw gang makes Ghost an offer he can't refuse. But Ghost refuses anyway. Which ticks off the outlaw—and draws the attention of another leader of another outlaw gang. Like it or not, Ghost is stuck in the middle of a gang war between two fierce rivals. But there's something about the second gang that's different. Something familiar . . .

They're the marauders who killed Ghost's family. And now they're about to get Ghosted.

Goodreads review by Glen on June 27, 2025

I won this book in a goodreads drawing. Typical oater with a few more double crosses and such than usual. The survivor of a massacre becomes a bounty hunter, and finds himself in a spaghetti western situation with a town controlled by two factions, but he's not really nihilistic enough for A Fistful......more

William Johnstone's The Man from Blood Gulch (Pinnacle 2025) is another in a long line of excellent classic western by this author. Garret McCoy, aka the Ghost, is a bounty hunter who is one of the best at this job, his success partly due to a deep pain in his soul that doesn’t go away. His family w......more

Goodreads review by Denice on January 23, 2025

There is no such thing as a bad Johnstone western. Each series is built around main characters whose belief in the law and family is absolute, even if they've had to be reformed to get there. From Preacher, the original mountain man to the Jensen family to Perly Gates, to.....well, you get the point......more
