In this hot-blooded new series from the bestselling Johnstones, a small town deputy sheriff with nothing to do decides to go looking for treasure . . . and winds up with six cutthroat killers out for his blood.
JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. GET TOUGH OR GET OUT OF THE WAY.
As the deputy sheriff in a small Missouri town, “Slick” Parker Jones doesn’t have much to do except get drunk and chase saloon girls. Life is pretty dull in Rory’s Junction—until Slick sees the wanted poster for a notorious train robber.
Parker’s never met an actual outlaw before. He’s never faced any real dangers, to be honest. But when that wanted man staggers into Parker’s nightly watering hole—half dead, with a hole in his gut and a bloody map in his hand—the young deputy’s life takes a wild turn . . . quite possibly fatal.
It starts with the dying man’s final words: “The gold.” Which leads Slick Parker to one conclusion: The map leads to the stolen gold from the outlaw’s latest, greatest train robbery. Instead of calling the marshal, Parker decides to hunt for the gold himself, earn his badge the old-fashioned way, and become the kind of lawman he always knew he could be. There’s just one problem. Parker isn’t the only one searching for the gold. A vicious gang of six barbaric killers are looking for it, too—and they’re gunning for the man with the map.
By the time Parker realizes what he’s up against, it’s too late. He’s already halfway to hell. . . .

Being the all-around assistant, typist, researcher, and fact checker to one of the most popular western authors of all time, J.A. Johnstone learned from the master, Uncle William W. Johnstone.
He began tutoring J.A. at an early age. After-school hours were often spent retyping manuscripts or researching his massive American Western history library as well as the more modern wars and conflicts. J.A. worked hard—and learned.
"Every day with Bill was an adventure story in itself. Bill taught me all he could about the art of storytelling. ‘Keep the historical facts accurate,' he would say. ‘Remember the readers, and as your grandfather once told me, I am telling you now: be the best J.A. Johnstone you can be.'"View titles by J.A. Johnstone
