Publisher's summary

Johnstone Country. Where every day is a good day to die.

Duff MacCallister left Scotland to forge a new life in America, raising cattle on the western plains of the growing nation. But keeping his dream alive means facing off against the country's most violent, bloodthirsty men . . .

The Spencer family is part of a wagon train passing through Chugwater, Wyoming, bound for the valley of Longshot Basin. Unfortunately, the trail that leads there has been buried under an avalanche. The only route the homesteaders can take is the infamous Nightmare Trail—a treacherous, terrifyingly steep, and narrow mountainside path that has claimed many lives.

If that wasn't dangerous enough, the trail is also a killing ground for the outlaw Hardcastle gang. The disreputable Arkansas Ozark clan don't take kindly to anyone trespassing on their road without paying—in blood.

Duff MacCallister is not about to let the Spencers ride the Nightmare Trail without his guidance. He knows the terrain. He knows how to defend himself. And he knows that when it comes to bad men like the Hardcastles, the best defense is killing first—and fast.

Not Luke Jensen. It's Duff MacCallister

This is Book 13 in the Duff MacCallister series. A great story too! But Corey M Snow is a horrible narrator. It is my opinion he is a distraction from the story. His try at accents is pathetic. I think he might do well if he simply read the story. But thestory is so good, you'll still want to listen.

Good Read

Good story to listen to while doing my workout. More swear words than usual but at least no profanity. Good job guys.

Narrator ruins story

The narrator was hard to listen to. Story was mot as strong as past books. They should have brought P.J. Ochlan back to narrate story.
