All three books of The Jericho Springs Western Trilogy in one collection
JUSTICE AT JERICHO SPRINGS Book 1: After a year of false trails and dead ends, Tull Roebuck closes in on the gamblers who shot his brother in cold blood. He’s tracked them from the booming tent towns of Nevada across a wild and unforgiving landscape. The trail brings him to the outskirts of a two-horse town called Jericho Springs. It’s a town where the folks don’t take kindly to strangers, where the sheriff takes an instant dislike to Tull. Before Tull gets revenge, the gamblers prey upon another unwary man. An old-timer is murdered after a poker game. The man leaves a daughter behind, along with valuable lands. Without her father’s protection, the beautiful girl is being forced off her homestead and into a cruel marriage. Despite his hardened heart, Tull vows to help. He knows he’s outgunned but avenging his brother’s murder also means justice for an innocent woman. Even if he pays with his life…
THE LONG WAY HOME Book 2: In the arid lands of Arizona, a guilt-ridden rancher protects a vulnerable young woman from a vicious outlaw. A year after burying the last of his family, Texan rancher, Newton Tanner, sets out for Arizona to buy horses from the legendary horseman, Joey Thunder. The trip offers Newt a respite, both from the past and from the lonesomeness of the Tanner homestead. He comes upon Joey, murdered, hanging in a tree a few miles from his cabin. Suddenly, the trip to buy horses takes on an unexpected danger. Newton discovers Joey has been caring for two wards. Leah Anson and a mute boy. In Leah’s nineteen years she’s known nothing but hardship. Orphaned, and tricked into coming west, she’s sold to the outlaw Crocker gang. She escapes their sinister plans after shooting the notorious gang leader, in the head, point blank. Nobody survives a gunshot to the head. Nobody, except Rufe Crocker. Crocker is ruthless, hell-bent on vengeance. He’s murdered the boy’s parents. He killed Joey. Now Crocker is hunting Leah. Newton Tanner came to the territory looking for horses, not trouble. After finding Joey dead, he should have gone straight back to Jericho Springs. But he can’t leave now. Not when Crocker intends to hunt down a defenseless woman and child. They need his protection. Very quickly he realizes he needs them, too.
GUNNING FOR GLORY Book 3: Glory Fletcher was last seen with a notorious orphan trader, a man profiting from selling young, innocent women to men of questionable character. Harlan Quaid has vowed to find her. His search leads him to the territory of Arizona and the prosperous town of Resolution. Harlan knows he’s close to finding Glory, but on the outskirts of the town he makes a grisly discovery. A woman’s body snagged in the river. The marks on her neck tell him everything he needs to know. The girl was murdered. Harlan’s search for Glory takes on a new urgency. Resolution reveals itself as a town that guards many secrets, and it’s in the grip of a power-hungry man. He owns the mines, the range, the town, and the law. He also owns Glory Fletcher. Harlan sees she’s trapped in a dangerous situation, and it’s one he’s witnessed before. Years ago he waited too long to save a woman. This time he’s determined it won’t happen again. No matter what it takes, he’s going to save Glory.
This series was a wonderful surprise as I ventured into a new world of great reading and adventure. Longmire has been my only experience with this genre (personally, I detest that word) and now I have found this great series. Perfectly told stories each connected by the same thread. My heart was pounding as I turned each page. I loved them and now will continue with the Justice series. I have put myself in a new path of intrigue and entertaining characters. Ten 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟💃. Thanks.....
These books were riveting! I had to pause my life until I could finish them! The characters were believable and the plots intricate. The dialogue and settings were authentic. I have previously read the two "Ussher" novels written by Mr. Scott, and l can honestly recommend any of his books!!!
I think Sam Scott is a good writer. There was so much detail I had forgotten that they were a good read again. I wish revenge did not play such a big part in the stories. I feel there have to be better solutions than killing. They are exciting stories.
I had previously read this trilogy of westerns, but found them so good, I re-read them again! I enjoyed the stories the second time around as much as the first time I read them!
A very good trilogy, the characters were realistic and the story developed well from one book to the next. But they could be read as stand alone books as well.
All three "books" are fast reading and fun. The author keeps things happening a nd the reader will not want to put the books down. I would recommend this to all readers that enjoy Western stories.
Very well written stories. Things moved right along so there was never a dull moment. No stupid moments in the love relationships. I enjoyed this trilogy very much.
