Publisher's summary

Priest McClaren wants to put his past behind him. It's a past filled with loss, murder... and revenge. Now all Priest wants is to own a carpentry shop and earn a quiet living building coffins. But it looks like peace and quiet just aren't in Priest's future. His ex-lover has pleaded with him to carry ransom money into hostile territory in Mexico, to rescue her new husband.

It's a mission he can't refuse, but it could also easily get him killed. Especially when he runs afoul of Don Braulio, a bandit with a great fondness for knives.

Critic reviews

"Tom Piccirilli's work is sharp as a sword, tart as apple vinegar. I look forward to all his work." (Joe R. Lansdale, author of Texas Night Riders)
"A Twisty tale with more pure entertainment per page than anything I've read in a long time." (Ed Gorman, author of Gun Truth)
"Strong stuff, very well done. I've never read any Western quite like it." (Bill Crider, author of Firewind)

Coffin Blues

This is another great short western. This is my first book by the author and narrator. I'll look for more. I really like Milton Bagby for a narrator. He has an excellent voice. I highly recommend this book. If my review is any help will you please click on the helpful link below. Thank you.

Good

A woman turns to an old love to help rescue her new love in Mexico. With a satchel full of money he is the prey for every bandit. A priest who wants a quiet life to build coffin. Interesting western, and audio was good. Given audio for my voluntary review
