THE GREATEST WESTERN WRITER OF THE 21ST CENTURY  William W. Johnstone is the premier chronicler of the often lawless and violent American West—and of the kind of iron-willed men who defined a nation. Now, he returns with a novel of dangerous loyalties, forgotten friends, and an enemy whose time has come . . .  Out Of The Fight—And Into The Fire  A deadly confrontation with the outlaw who murdered his wife has left Frank Morgan a wounded shell of his former self—until a woman he once knew calls him back to Parker County. Married to another man, Mercy Monfore has a hold on Morgan that cannot be denied. Now, she needs him to take on a dangerous gang—with the law in Parker County set against him and only a young Texas Ranger on his side. But as a battle explodes, and the past pulls at Morgan’s soul, he might just miss the gravest danger of all: a manhunter who’s ridden long and far to stake his claim to fame—by planting Frank Morgan in the ground.
