Johnstone country. Patriots welcome. The Johnstone hero with the heavenly name--and the hellish task of living up to it--Perley Gates--takes on a gang of cold-blooded killers to save the soul of a small Western town . . . They say that home is where the heart is. And no one knows that better than Perley Gates. After helping the lovely Miss Emma Slocum reunite with her sisters family in Bison Gap, Perley cant wait to rejoin his own kin at the Triple-G Ranch. No sooner does Perley settle in when he receives an alarming telegram from Bison Gap. Emmas brother-in-law has been murdered. Her sister wants justice. And Perley is their only hope to get it . . . Perley cant refuse a family in need. So he saddles up with his salty cowhand Possum Smith and heads to Bison Gap. He notices that the towns new sheriff is acting suspicious--and likely in cahoots with the local gang of deadly outlaws. In no time at all theres a target on Perleys back--and the vicious gang leader is calling all the shots. Justice may be hard to find in a town this wicked. But vengeance is swift--straight out of the Gates . . . Live Free. Read Hard.
