Taking Sides
Jess is on the hunt for Kirk Shepperd after crossing back into Texas from his hometown of Black Creek, Kansas. He runs into some trouble with a rancher in Redding, Texas. In the middle of all the action, Shadow is wounded by one of the rancher’s hired guns. A confrontation ensues between Jess and the rancher and tensions run high in the town.

Another gr8 book from Mr. Price.
Jess is one busy guy, and the story plot is exciting. I couldn't put the book down, and I hate it when that happens because I finish the book much sooner than I'd like.
Come on book 92! Keep them coming!

Wow!
Jess does it again. This novel has a surprise ending. Seems as though Jess just got fed up with all the nonsense surrounding another "blood bounty" and puts an end to it as only he can do.

The only thing wrong with these books is they don’t last long enough. Another great read about Jess Williams. I so enjoy these books. Can’t wait for the next book 📖 to come out. Thank you Paul L Thompson for another great read.

OUTSTANDING western Jess Williams story that all will enjoy.
I have read all ninety one Jess Williams stories in the series. Jess is like a cat and has a thousand lives but in all the gun fighting he still finds time to do a good deed.

Greed and power will get you killed
Jess follows the trail of bad men that less him to Redding where another greedy man uses his power to kill and steal. He puts a bounty on Jess and that starts the end to the story.

Another hit.
Hit all the right notes. Jess saves the day. Good guys win. Bad guys lose . Mystical wolf charms all. Best of all John Bodine shows himself as a true friend and not just a glutonous moocher.

Good read
I enjoyed this book because it shows how greed and revenge can blind a person to do things that they should not do. Great story.
