Bad Days for Bad Men: Smoke Jensen's American Justice

A man of the mountains, Smoke Jensen forged his steely brand of justice in the untamed, unforgiving wilderness of the American West. Bad Days for Bad Men presents two legendary adventures of the original Mountain Man by national bestselling authors William W. and J.A. Johnstone.

BETRAYAL OF THE MT MAN
Smoke is determined to stay on the right side of the law-until he's jumped by six low-life robbers who steal his shirt and his identity. Tried for robbery and murder, Smoke's sentenced to hang in the morning. But come sunup, he's already after the desperados who've set him up. Smoke's going to hunt them down one by one. Because nobody frames the Mountain Man. Nobody who plans on staying alive, that is . . .

RAMPAGE OF THE MT MAN
Smoke takes a contract to deliver three thousand head of cattle, but a renegade Cheyenne warrior uses an early winter blizzard to attack Smoke and his outgunned cowboys. Too bad it's only the first step in a journey built to test Smoke's mettle, because some people are hunting a payday of their own-for killing Smoke Jensen. Soon the streets of Laramie will run with blood . . .

Completely Satisfied
I read every Johnstone western I can find. The Johnstone series revolve a core of seriously good, honest men who just want to live a peaceful life and raise their families. But fate seldom gives them a pass. Smoke Jensen is the original mountain man. He travels the roads and trails to make a living but has developed a reputation as a lawman's gun man. This book has two stories that find Smoke pitted against some desperately bad men. Good reads from some seriosly good writers.
