The Range Detectives

By: William W. Johnstone, J. A. Johnstone

Narrated by: John McLain

Johnstone Country: The good die young. The bad die younger.

From the best-selling masters of Western fiction comes two tough frontier detectives who solve the bloodiest crimes with bravado, brains, and bullets blazing....

Homicide on the range

A killer is on the loose in the Arizona Territory. One by one, Tonto Basin ranchers are being murdered for their livestock - and the Cattle Raisers' Association has hired two range detectives to catch the culprit.

From the looks of them, Stovepipe Stewart and Wilbur Coleman are just another pair of high-plains drifters. But with their razor-sharp detective skills and rare talent for trouble, they're the last remaining hope for one young cowboy who's been arrested for the murders. Stovepipe and Wilbur believe the boy is innocent.

In short order, the trail of clues leads to a secret canyon hideout, and the duo find themselves in the middle of an all-out range war - with the dirtiest gang of cutthroats, thieves, and outlaws the West has ever known....

There's just one mystery left to solve: How will they get out of this alive?

Range Detectives

The best part of the story was in the last few chapters, when the final reveal was being pulled together. It was still a very great surprise at the very end.

Nice easy listen.

Enjoyed this book. A nice easy listen. Some fun characters also made the sort more interesting.

Nice, clean story, like the old westerns

I enjoyed the story line, the lack of lots of gore, and the two detectives who stand for good against evil. Unlike another person, I enjoyed the narrator. His ability to change voices is fun, and since this was a story written in the John Wayne genre the voice was perfect. I like this series, and whoever really wrote it should be given credit and write more. People should know the ghost writers so they can be followed.
