by William Black (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
See all formats and editions
Hunting the men who did it. One by one.

After learning the truth about his family’s killers, Deputy Lucas Butler leaves behind his East Texas home and tracks down the Bloodhoof Gang, the seven men responsible for the fateful night that tore apart his childhood.

Some of the brutes have vanished from sight. But others still eke out their heartless trades. Elwood Roscoe, the engine behind the Bloodhoof reign of terror, hasn’t lost his taste for blood and theft. He’s made his living making a mockery of justice.

As Lucas uncovers an ocean of pain left behind by the gang, he also finds unexpected vengeful souls including Ramona Cowley. She’s only had an encounter with a single Bloodhoof – but the aftermath is enough for her to draw her own guns.

Ramona wants to clear Texas of its Bloodhoof filth.

With his unlikely companion, Lucas strikes out to avenge his family once and for all.

But the Bloodhoof Gang know what’s coming for them and Roscoe wants Lucas in the ground for tempting fate…

With bullets weaving in the arid sky, Lucas and Ramona battle to deliver righteous doom to Roscoe and his desperados. But can they succeed where so many have already failed?

Another classic western with respectful romance and women as strong frontier folk from author William Black.

Note: Each book in the American Post-Civil War Westerns series is a standalone story that can be read out of order.

I liked how the story played out . I have an internal struggle when authors make frontier folks look weak in a story but I like how this one was written.

One young man grows out of tradgy to become strong, loving and yet seeks justice for his lost family. While doing this he finds his eyes opened to see he has a family and finds love and justice for his family. He grows through out the story till it all comes together in the end. Great character development and many different twists to the plot. Well Done.......
