Bounty For The Preacher: Riders of Independence

Rate this book
"There will be hell to pay... and rivers of blood will run for this Preacher..."

An exciting new Western in the style of A.H Holt, Alex Cord, and Bruce G. Bennett filled with action, adventure and plot twists such as G.P Hutchinson, Robert Vaughan, and C.M. Curtis! This is a book that is filled with the bodies of dead bad guys!

Jake Timber encounters a preacher-cum-bounty hunter who has killed the wanted man he was trailing. Quickly, Timber discovers the preacher is more than he claims to be, as together they dispatch the wanted man’s brothers who have come to avenge him. Now, instead of one bounty, they have four and decide to split them equally. Together, they take their bounties into the nearest town of Crooked Creek to collect the reward.

During the ride to town, the preacher claims he is only hunting bounties until he has enough money to build a church, but something about the man doesn’t sit right with Timber. Upon reaching town, they are drawn into a landgrab scheme involving the local sheriff and his gang of rustlers.

Timber and the preacher become hunted men in Crooked Creek and must work together to keep from becoming two more victims of the crooked sheriff and his gang. The only hope they have of avoiding being killed by the sheriff is to gain the trust and cooperation of the local townsfolk who have, in the past, been reluctant to place themselves at risk.

After a night of quietly killing several of the sheriff’s men, Timber and the preacher find a couple of witnesses and some banking records that serve to convince the townsfolk to back Timber and the preacher against the sheriff. In the final showdown, Timber and the preacher lure the sheriff to the town’s main square.

It’s non-stop action and intrigue. Rustlers and jailbirds, good men against bad men, good versus evil and a surprising ending. Be sure to ride along with Jake Timber as he rides the dusty trail in search of justice for wanted men.

So if you like reading Brad Dennison, Dave P. Fisher, and Lou Bradshaw, then you’ll love "Bounty For The Preacher" from bestselling author Robert Hanlon!

"CROOKS OF CROOKED CREEK"

My fellow western lovers, here's another exciting western . We have a Preacher, whose a bounty Hunter and a Sheriff Timber who was sentenced to life in prison for killing the sociopath who murdered his wife and two year old daughter. The trumped up charges accusing him of murdering the ranchers son. The judges in this case was crooked, he was in the pockets of who could him the most money to throw the case. The Preacher who was in a early life a fast draw who robbed banks, stage coaches may have had a religious epiphany and turned his life around to becoming a bounty hunter. You will enjoy this adventure of The Preacher(aka William Clay)who has a warrant for his arrest. Timber, The Sheriff had his sentence excommunicated when the courts heard how the evidence was stacked against him. The release of Timber is conditional he must become a territorial sheriff for the territories, in a si certain he's a legal man killer mandated by the judge and governor of the territories. Hope there will be more adventures for the two, they work well together..

I really love the uniqueness of this story, even though it follows the same basic format of a traditional western, it definitely has some new twists to it. I would highly recommend anyone to read this book.
