Shane and Jonah 1: Gun Law at Hangman's Creek
At first glance, Shane Preston and Jonah Jones were an odd pair—one a lean, quiet gunfighter, the other a feisty old-timer running to fat. But they shared a special bond, and a common goal … to track down the man with the scarred faced who’d killed Shane’s wife.
To do that, however, they needed money. So they hired out their guns as trouble-busters, and fought one deadly battle after another, always in the hope that their trail would eventually cross with that of Scarface.
When Hangman’s Creek hired them to clean out the lawless element, it seemed like a pretty straightforward job. But neither man reckoned on just how ruthless Leif Murphy could be … and how dangerous his army of gunslingers!
Roger Norris-Green was born in Brighton, UK and emigrated with his parents to Australia when he was a schoolboy. Since leaving Unley High School in South Australia, he has written 140 published westerns under 6 pen names, plus 2 under his own name.
Roger had his first western ‘Apache Crossing’ accepted by the Cleveland Publishing Company when he was a young man in his early 20s, just married, living in the Adelaide Hills. The pen name he used for his very first western was Cole Shelton. He went on to write his ‘Shane and Jonah’ series under that pen name. Many of his westerns have received ‘Best Western of the Month’ awards. Roger lives with his wife Elaine in Moonta Bay, South Australia. Although retired, he is still writing.

Shane and Jonah
This is my first time to read a book written by Cole Shelton, but I must say it is a really good book. I look forward to reading the series on Shane and Jonah. Thank you Cole Shelton for a very enjoyable read.

loved the narration of Alex Lagase, you could feel the old west, dust and lawlessness
This short listen is full of action. Two different men one a gunfighter and the other an old timer. Both wanting to track down one man. The man who killed Shane's wife , the man with the scar

This was exactly what I was expecting—a short, breezy Western romp with plenty of action and gunplay. I’d hoped there might be a bit more humor between our two heroes, but that’s a minor quibble. Besides, maybe that’ll come as the characters develop. This is only the first book, after all.

Good start to the series. Fast moving, likeable characters. Look forward to reading the next one.
