Gunfire Ridge is the fourth and apparently final installment of the Bodie
Kendrick Bounty Hunter Series. It opens with Kendrick in the company of
a soiled dove in the town of Ford’s Bottom. The quiet is disturbed by the pounding
on their room door, followed by threats, and very soon gunfire. When the lead
stops flying and the dust has settled a bit town marshal, Cotton Mayhew, makes
it clear that the bounty hunter has overstayed his welcome in these parts. Thanks
to the Sheriff up in Laramie already having authorized his bounty pay at the local
bank, Kendrick can collect his monies due him and head on out of town immediately.
That would be just as well as for
all involved as some folks are no doubt coming to town to settle a score with
Kendrick. Today’s attempt at killing him traces back to an event earlier in the
series and the far flung family members, of which there are quite a few, seem
to be of no mind to let things go. Kendrick also has work to do near Pine
Ridge, Nebraska and would like to get out of northern Colorado before the winter
snows set in. That is going to be a way easier said than done in Gunfire
Ridge.
Gunfire Ridge: Bodie Kendrick Bounty
Hunter Book 4 is another good one. Starting with Hard
Trail To Socorro, Rio
Matanza, Diamond
In The Rough and now Gunfire Ridge, the very good reads in
this series are well worth your time. Kendrick is a man’s man--- he loves hard,
he drinks hard, and he works hard. When killing needs to be done he does it as
that is the cards he was dealt. A very good western series where there is
plenty of action and adventure with a hint of romance and mystery thrown in the
mix. Award winning author Wayne D. Dundee simply can’t write a bad story. This
is another good one.
According to Amazon I picked this up
in early April 2015. I have no idea now if it was a free read or I used funds
in my Amazon Associate account. I suspect the latter.
