About the book
In this scorching new series by the popular Johnstones, the lone survivor of a brutal massacre channels his anger into bounty hunting - giving rise to a fresh Western legend...
He goes by the name Ghost. Garret ‘Ghost’ McCoy, a tough man with a turbulent past, is haunted by the memory of the day his family fell victim to savage attackers. This tragic event forced him to mature swiftly, toughen up even faster, and hone his every skill - whether it be with a gun, a knife, or his bare hands - to survive. A solitary figure and a stealthy predator, Ghost epitomizes the no-nonsense bounty hunter who always achieves his objective - dead or alive. Nevertheless, it's only a matter of time before his fame catches up to him - in the desolate town of Coyote Flats...
It all commences with a homicide. Three ruthless cattle thieves, each with a price on their heads, meet their demise on the desolate streets of Coyote Flats when Ghost confronts them in a gunfight. Owing to the bounty hunter’s marksmanship, the head of a local criminal faction extends an offer too enticing for Ghost to refuse. Yet, he declines nonetheless, provoking the ire of the outlaw and garnering the attention of another faction leader. Unwittingly, Ghost finds himself embroiled in a conflict between two relentless adversaries. However, there's something peculiar about the second group. Something that strikes a chord...
They are the same marauders responsible for the murder of Ghost’s kin. And now, they're about to experience retribution from the Ghost.
