Review
"Boggs knows the Old West, and it horses and guns, and his characters are invested with considerable originality....I think Johnny D. Boggs is well on his way to being a major western writer."-George Glenn, The Shootist "Hannah and the Horseman is easy to get into and hard to put down"-Frank Wooten, The Post and Courier "Johnny D. Boggs is a student of the West, so you can bet he gets his details right, whether it's guns, horsehide, or the lay of the land....In pacing, Boggs is a master. Every page brings surprises, every chapter crackles with action. Whether it's This Man Colter or the Hannah and the Horseman series, Boggs throws a screenplay at us, knowing we'll make the movie in our heads."-Bruce H. Thorstad, author of Deadwood Dick and the Code of the West and Sharpshooters "Boggs turns in a rib-tickling story filled with traditional western action."-Roundup "This story is action from the first page to the last. The challenge comes when the reader has to decide which is the best-the action, the characters, or the setting. This combination is so winning that to make a choice is impossible. Just enjoy it all."-Rendezvous -- From The Publisher
From the Inside Flap
Hannah Scott and Pete Belissari travel to the lawless town of Shafter, Texas, to look after orphans Darcy and Desmond Comhghall. When the twins fight to remain with a local miner, trouble is only beginning. Because shortly thereafter, Pete is been ambushed and left for dead by the brutal Cochrane Smith gang. And Hannah, who has been charged with murder, barely escapes a lynch mob only to be captured by the vicious bandit Plomo. A brandy-swilling dime-novelist, a revenge-seeking English vigilante, a cholera outbreak and the mystery of a fortune in gold leave Hannah and the horseman fighting for their lives as they try to protect the twins-who just happen to be the meanest, sneakiest and dirtiest pair of siblings west of the Pecos.
