This new series by the Johnstone syndicate has a good character in Garret McCoy. An orphaned boy who becomes a bounty hunter and gets to relive his observation of his family being killed and looks for revenge. In this story, McCoy collects bounties and comes face-to-face with a town with two opposing oligarchs. The saloon in the town is neutral territory.

McCoy whose nickname is "Ghost" has his work cut out for him as he tries to right previous wrongs and keep future wrongs from happening. All is not roses as there are folks he cares about who are wounded and even killed. But in typical Western fashion the basic goodness wins in the end but it is a rocky road filled with bumps.

I enjoyed the fast read and would tell other readers of Westerns they probably will like it too. The characters are not too shallow as sometimes happens in Western stories with the stereotyping.
