It was never his
intent, but when Dooley Monahan put a bullet in a dangerous
and notorious outlaw, he became an instant legend. Being a
legend can really complicate one's life. That is especially
the case when the family of the desperado you shot is in hot
pursuit and hell-bent on revenge.
All poor Dooley wants is to collect his reward and get out
of Phoenix as quickly as possible. He's hankering on pushing
north to the gold fields where he hopes to make a different
kind of "killing."
On the way, a band of renegade Apaches, a dog smarter than
most humans Dooley knows, and a girl with a past she'd rather
forget than talk about make Dooley's journey exceptionally
interesting.
Unforgettable friends, vicious enemies, and some really odd
twists of fate make the trail west Dooley Monahan follows
one that you won't soon forget. There is a little humor tucked
in the account of this journey along with the usual action
and gunfire you come to expect for one of William W. Johnstone's
stories. You'll savor every minute you spend with this western
anti-hero and want to follow more of his misadventures if
the author elects to share them!
