They called him fastest gun alive, but Smoke Jensen is determined to stay on the right side of the law. That is, until he's jumped by six low-life robbers who steal his shirt - and his identity. Smoke's tried for robbery and murder, and sentenced to hang in morning. Someone's out to frame the Mountain Man...someone who's made a big mistake. Barely managing to escape on the morning of his hanging, Smoke's going after the desperados who've set him up. The gang thinks they have nothing to fear; they've already divided up the loot and gone their separate ways. But Smoke's going to hunt them down one by one. Because nobody frames the Mountain Man. Nobody who plans on staying alive, that is.
Smoke Jensen faces the possible loss of his Sugarloaf ranch, and even for a man used to trouble, this time the odds are stacked high. Then Ebenezer Dooley and his gang frame him for bank robbery and murder, turning a bad situation into a disaster.
Convicted on damning evidence and sentenced to hang, Smoke refuses to die for another man’s crimes. After a jailbreak, he rides out to hunt down the men who set him up. Clearing his name is only half the mission—vengeance is the rest.
A strong, fast‑moving entry in the Mountain Man saga, this instalment delivers the action, grit, and frontier justice longtime fans expect. Even if you can guess where the trail leads, the journey is still a satisfying one.
5/5
