The Scavengers

Death & Texas #3

by William W. Johnstone, J.A. Williams

Lone Star Sheriff Cullen McCabe has always been a risk-taker. But sometimes, taking a risk means taking a bullet—unless you kill first . . .

EVERYTHING IS BIGGER IN TEXAS. EVEN DEATH.

Sheriff McCabe knew he’d make a lot of enemies when he agreed to be a special agent for the Texas governor. But now that he’s managed to keep the peace in the hopeless town of New Hope, he’s hoping he can go home to Two Forks and get back to business as usual.

No such luck.

The corrupt marshal of East City, Micah Moran, and his murdering band of kill-crazy cutthroats are running wild, leaving the folks in East City in a deadly grip of terror. Now, Two Forks will have to wait because Micah Moran and his evil gang need to be taught some manners—with McCabe’s own brand of retribution.

Loved it! Fast paced. Thrilling - great story about how a rotten outlaw Sheriff and his worthless band of outlaw cronies (a deputy and a posse), find themselves with the tables turned when a mysterious stranger comes to town.

A great series

Book 3 was as interesting and exciting as books 2 and 3 were. The action is non-stop and the storyline is packed with so many twists and turns it's hard to put the book down. I recommend this series to anyone who loves good old western adventure.
