Dead for a Dollar

Firestick, Book 3

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

Narrated by: Brian Hutchison

Johnstone Justice. Making the West wild again. 

Keeping the peace in a West Texas town like Buffalo Peak should be easy for a legendary frontiersman like Marshal Elwood "Firestick" McQueen. He’s got his longtime buddies "Beartooth" Skinner and "Moosejaw" Hendricks as his deputies — not to mention the famous rifle that earned him his nickname. But when Firestick learns that their ornery old friend “Rip” Ripley just rode into town, all bets are off. 

It’s darn near impossible to keep the peace when Rip’s specialty is disturbing it. Firestick finds a decade-old wanted poster for Rip — the reward is one dollar. Firestick uses it to toss Rip into the clink 'til he decides to leave town. But Ripley’s still up to his old tricks — he has a new gang of cutthroats coming to Buffalo Peak to steal a king’s ransom in gold in the town bank. 

Firestick, Beartooth, and Moosejaw become pawns in what just might be the heist of the century. Because Rip’s kill-crazy pals will have to bust him out of jail first....

Love The Continued Loyalty Of Good Friends

Again several plots are brought together into one storyline creating an exciting, and entertaining story.

Wildman Ken

80% predictable but a unique twist in the end. I listen to it while I was driving to our mountain house in North Carolina and I must admit my wife fell asleep and said that it was not very exciting to her.

Good story and plot line

This is a good series and took a different route then most johnstone westerns. Worth a read.
