The Bullet Stops Here (Luke Jensen Bounty Hunter)
From the Greatest Western Writers of the 21st Century, the 10th chapter in the USA Today and Publishers Weekly bestselling series featuring Luke Jensen, the long-lost brother of Mountain Man Smoke Jensen. A legend among bounty hunters, Luke Jensen joins a posse of misfits and greenhorns on a murderous manhunt that's doomed from the start-and there's no turning back . . .
Someone is terrorizing the Arizona border. Burning down ranches. Butchering travelers. Blazing a trail of bloodthirsty raids and robbing the railroads blind. His name is Melichus. A ruthless half-breed outlaw with a mile-long record of cruelties and crimes, he's the most wanted man in the territory. And the massive price on his head has attracted the attention of every trigger-happy, would-be bounty hunter this side of the Rio Grande. But Luke Jensen knows something they don't:
The bigger the bounty, the deadlier the prey.
Against his better judgment, Luke accepts an offer from the Great Southern Railroad to lead a posse of hired guns to stop Melichus in his tracks. Problem is, the gunmen are untrained, undisciplined, and unruly. To make matters worse, a meddlesome pair of Pinkertons are along for the ride, too. But the real trouble starts when their team gets caught in a three-sided gunfight with an Apache war party and the Mexican Army. It's fast becoming the bloodiest manhunt Luke's ever seen-and the final showdown could be his last . . .

Luke Jensen is not my favorite Jensen series by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone but The Bullet Stops Here was a great western, lots of bad guys and gunplay. How much trouble can a bounty hunter get himself into? Well, in this book there is alot and then some. We have riverboats, attacked villages, mexican rurales, indians and tracking bad guys. He even has problems with the Pinkerton detectives. It was a fast read with a quick pace and lots of action, not your typical Luke Jensen story. Thanks to Pinnacle, Kensington Books and Netgalley for giving me this advance copy.
