Good Samaritan gunslinger Perley Gates returns for a new action-packed adventure from legendary national bestselling Western authors William W. Johnstone and J. A. Johnstone set in historic Texas.

Perley's elder brother, Rubin, who manages the Triple-G Ranch decides to try breeding some Hereford cattle with the ranch's longhorns. He asks Perley to deliver the contract for the Herefords, a simple task. But nothing ever remains simple when Perley is involved. And for the reluctant fast gun, it means a nightmare journey through hell itself . . .

The trouble starts when Perley and his sidekick, Possum, meet some damsels in distress—a lovely group of saloon girls with a broken wagon wheel. Being a good Samaritan, Perley feels honor-bound to help them. But when the travelers cross paths with an ornery gang of vicious outlaws, things turn deadly—and fast. It only gets worse from there, for Perley agrees to escort them to Nacogdoches—next to Angelina County, a section of which is infested with a special breed of vermin known as the Tarpley family. And this corrupt clan has a gunslinger—who'd love nothing more than to take down a living legend like Perley Gates . . .

As in the previous books in this series, I enjoy the character of Perley. His ethical approach in the face of a number of bad hombres throughout his adventures. makes for a fun read. Possum is a fun character too. I really enjoy Mr. Campbell's reading of each character in the series.

Honest Man

so think twice before you make a terrible mistake. Family is the backbone of civilization but what if that family is hellbent on being corrupt? it needs Perley's intervention.

if you first do not succeeed, there will be no second chance in Perley's world
