Duff MacCallister is a man who came to America from Scotland to escape ruthless men who were seeking his life. Now, here in America, Duff is a successful ranch owner, raising Angus beef and a loyal man to friends. In the previous books: MacCallister-The Eagles Legacy, The Killing, The Dry Gulch Ambush, Kill Crazy, Kingdom Come, Ten Guns from Texas and Day of Reckoning, readers became engaged with this fictional character and his friends.
In this installment of the main character’s life, Duff is facing an enemy disguised as a friend. But is the man a friendly neighbor or a man with a secret past and nefarious friends? When Houser first steps off the train, Duff sees him and gets a feeling about him. As time goes on, Houser buys the neighboring ranch that is for sale but what he has acquired isn’t enough. When Houser puts his plans into motion, Duff and other ranchers are threatened, and somehow Houser must be stopped.
As I have read the series, starting with the first book to The Stalking Death, it has given me time to learn about this Duff. He is a man that works hard, befriends people and will come to the aid of anyone in need along with his ranch help Mr. Gleason and Mr. Wang. Readers will learn about the aforementioned men as they read the other wonderful tales in the Duff MacCallister series.
These stories are exciting, adventurous, and engaging, making it hard to put the book down before finishing! Westerns are entertaining and reading them provides hours of being lost in the pages with the many events that occur in the plot. I hope you will grab the series and then prepare yourself for hours of enraptured storytelling at its very best from the pen of the Johnstone family!
