Synopsis

Former Pinkerton turned Wyoming Territory Sheriff Buck Trammel takes on the biggest, meanest criminal in Laramie County—and his equally corrupt lawyer—in his fifth action-packed historical western from national bestselling authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone …

PRISON BREAK!

In the criminal underworld of Laramie County, Lucien Clay was king. He terrorized the locals, robbed the coffers, and ruled the place with an iron fist. Thankfully he’s behind bars now—along with a load of other lowlife scum—thanks to Laramie’s new sheriff, Buck Trammel. Unfortunately, Buck can only enforce the law while others specialize in working around it: namely, lawyers. And no lawyer is more crooked or corrupt than the belly-crawling snake Clay hired to get him out. By any means possible …

Their breakout plan is simple: The lawyer will wait until midnight. Then he’ll break into the county jail to bust his client out. He’ll scale the walls, kill the guards, ambush the deputies, and release the prisoner. There’s just one catch: As soon as Clay is freed, the other convicts want out, too. Which sparks total chaos in the prison, creates a distraction for Clay—and unleashes a blood-soaked night of murderous mayhem the new sheriff will never forget. If he survives …

Goodreads review by Rob on April 28, 2023

After touring through more than 250 Johnstone novels, it's been rare for me to enter a series out of order. In this case, I'd missed the first two and with NetGalley.com offering this for a review, I hit another Johnstone trail. Immediately I was lost. This book was a clear indicator that the two pr......more

Goodreads review by Denice on April 07, 2023

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

Goodreads review by Ash on September 19, 2024

A fine novel. I didn't realize that this was the 5th book in the series until I was a decent ways into it. I thoroughly enjoyed the style and pacing of this book. There was action at every turn. I was kept guessing with where things would go the entire time. Would recommend for anyone who likes West......more
