I didn’t realize the book has 2 short stories that are very loosely connected. Also I’ve now read at least of a dozen Johnstone books, most of which feature revenge as the main theme. This has grown very old so I’m going to li it my reding of their books in the future.
Would like for things to have turned out different for Conrad/Kid Morgan but not sure if there is a book 3. Read a lot of books by Johnston's and have enjoyed reading all of them.
Strong character, good action, adventure and intrigue. I hate abrupt endings and always killing off the wife brutally but the authors still tell a great story
