This Man Must Die (The Buck Trammel Western)
Former Pinkerton-turned Wyoming Territory Sheriff Buck Trammel takes on the biggest, meanest criminal in Laramie County – and his equally corrupt lawyer – in his fifth action-packed historical western from national bestselling authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone…
PRISON BREAK!
In the criminal underworld of Laramie County, Lucien Clay was king. He terrorized the locals, robbed the coffers, and ruled the place with an iron fist. Thankfully he's behind bars now-along with a load of other lowlife scum-thanks to Laramie's new sheriff, Buck Trammel. Unfortunately, Buck can only enforce the law while others specialize in working around it: namely, lawyers. And no lawyer is more crooked or corrupt than the belly-crawling snake Clay hired to get him out. By any means possible…
Their breakout plan is simple: The lawyer will wait until midnight. Then he'll break in to the county jail to bust his client out. He'll scale the walls, kill the guards, ambush the deputies, and release the prisoner. There's just one catch: As soon as Clay is freed, the other convicts want out, too. Which sparks total chaos in the prison, creates a distraction for Clay-and unleashes a bloodsoaked night of murderous mayhem the new sheriff will never forget. If he survives…

There is no such thing as a bad Johnstone western. Each series is built around main characters whose belief in the law and family is absolute, even if they've had to be reformed to get there. From Preacher, the original mountain man to the Jensen family to Perly Gates, to.....well, you get the point. Many times, characters from one series will show up in another as supporting hands. The communities are true to the era, clothing, guns, food and troubles are all what you'd find if you looked them up in the history books. No two stories are the same, each character or set of characters is unique and so are their stories. The writing is skillful, readers are pulled into the story and you will laugh and cry right along with the characters. I made the mistake of picking up a Johnstone western my uncle was reading. Ive been hooked ever since. Now I share them with my reading family and will continue as long as new Johnstones are released. If you've not met Buck Trammel, you're missing a seriously determined man who will stop at nothing while enforcing the law. You'd think the criminals would have learned by now.

Buck Trammel is back in This Man Must Die by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone. This is another good western with some not so usual characters, although it feels like the writing is on autopilot I still enjoy this series. It covers some things that most westerns do not and I am all for that. Having read westerns for at least forty years I need something new in the stories to keep me interested. This series has that. I must thank Kensington Books Pinnacle and Netgalley for providing me with another advance copy.
