Hank Fallon's third book, Dead Time, is a great read. I hope to read more in this series soon.
Five stars.

True to the nature of a rip-roaring wild western ride. I loved this sequel. True to the Johnstone family tradition as well. Anyone looking for a fast-paced entertaining read need look no further.

Give me any book that has the Johnstones as an author and I know I'll have a GREAT reading experience as the character or characters get into and out of trouble while making their own corner safer for everyone. Almost all of the Johnstones books are western and each has a very distinctive character at the core. This is the newest installment of the Hank Fallon series. If you haven't read the prior stories, don't worry, you can catch up after you finish this one. Hank's backstory includes the fact that he used to be a lawman but was sent to prison for something he did not do. His wife and child were killed. This causes Hank to have a hollow/ hard heart when it comes to criminals.
Hank has tracked the killer of his family to a prison that is particularly known for it's harsh treatment of the inmates. So what does he do? Yes, he did get himself placed in the prison, seeking revenge. But along the way, Hank will find himself in the unique position of having to choose between vengeance for his family and saving the surrounding community from the plans of a local man who is endangering everyone in the town. Enter our hero to save the day after he gets a few more bruises and scars.
