Hell for Breakfast (A Slash and Pecos Western)
Johnstone Country. Be Quick or Be Dead.
In a twist of fate, Slash and Pecos are riding hard for the law, dispensing justice as they see fit, and determined to watch their final sunset as heroes...not outlaws.
His wicked ways mostly behind him, reformed bank robber Jimmy "Slash" Braddock is getting hitched to his sweetheart. But before the honeymoon, Chief U.S. Marshal Luther T. "Bleed-'Em-So" Bledsoe needs Slash and his former partner-in-crime, Melvin "Pecos Kid" Baker, to don a couple of deputy marshal badges and saddle up for a trip to Nebraska. Seems the town of Harveyville has fallen prey to a trio of murderous badmen blasting away up and down Main Street, and the local law needs some assistance from men who know how to handle a gun.
But Slash and Pecos killed the wrong man. Worse, the town marshal tells them that the outlaws rode on and he doesn't need their help after all. But now Slash and Pecos are wanted men. Tom Gyllenwater's son is dead. He won't rest until Slash and Pecos are permanently relocated to Boot Hill. And as the duo are targeted by every gun-crazy desperado in the territory, Slash and Pecos discover they'll find no help from anyone in Harveyville, a town of ruthless and corrupt folks willing to kill to protect their secrets...

Slash and Pecos is back in Hell for Breakfast by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone. I always love a good western and this is one of them. This book has some new twists on an old theme about the badmen out from prison returning to get revenge on the town that sent them there. I don't know why but the language in this one is different from the other books in this series, not for the worse. It feels more gritty and true to the period. I wonder how long the heroes are going to be forced to do the marshalls bidding but it is also a new twist compared to other westerns. It is always fun to see som renewal in this old genre. I must thank @kensingtonbooks @netgalley for giving me this advance copy and @williamw.j.a.johnstone for writing it. #NetGalley #Kensington #HellForBreakfast

Anytime there is a new title in a Johnstone series, you know how you'll be spending your evening. Lovers of the western genre know that William A Johnstone / JA Johnstone cannot write a bad book. Book #4 in the Slash and Pecos series find our unlikely lawmen right where we left them in book #3, THE WICKED DIE TWICE. Reformed criminals now working for the law, our two cowboys are deputized and on their way to Nebraska to clean up a frontier town. With Slash and Pecos on the job, the "easy" job soon is anything but easy. An original twist in the middle has the duo meant to save the town, running from the law again. The Johnstone library contains many excellent series, western, mountain men and even contemporary. Pick anyone and start reading, you will soon be hooked.
