By the Neck

De: J.A. Johnstone, William W. Johnstone

Narrado por: Jack Garrett

Introducing a new Western hero in the grand Johnstone tradition: a mining town saloonkeeper who serves up justice like a shot of liquor - 150 proof.

Johnstone Country.

Boomtown Justice.

Rollie Finnegan is a man of few words. As a former Pinkerton agent with two decades of experience under his belt, he uses his stony silence to break down suspects and squeeze out confessions. Hence the nickname Stoneface. Over the years, he’s locked up plenty of killers. Now he’s ready to make a killing - for himself....

There’s gold in the mountains of Idaho Territory. And the town of Boar Gulch is a golden opportunity for a tough guy like Finnegan. But when he arrives, the local saloon owner is gunned down in cold blood - and Finnegan makes a cold calculation of his own. Instead of working in a mine, he’ll buy the saloon. Instead of gold, he’ll mine the miners. And instead of getting dirty, he’ll clean up this grimy little boomtown once and for all - with his own brand of Stoneface justice....

New character

Good read. Interesting character than his normal books. I would recommend it to someone to read

Very Enjoyable

This is a fun, enjoyable almost Western that offers lots of fighting’, gun talk and cowboy stuff. The author’s details are vivid without being gruesome. And it’s quite obvious, the author is pro animal rights and racial inclusion. I admire that and appreciate the author and publishers for how Pop who had been a slave was treated in this story. I hope the next book is them finding Pop’s family.

very fun

I loved this book. extremely excited to see where she takes this series. feels like authentic Johnstone books and I love it.

Plenty of battles in this one

Another classic sometimes when you wish that they would just kill this character off and they never do it can drive you a little crazy but in this book it takes care of a lot of these guys that you want dead and gone and with that being said what a great book

Just an average western tale

Jack Garrett did a good job with the story.
The story was just average. I have read or listened to many other Johnstone stories that were far better.

Great Dialogue

The reality of a character is demonstrated through his dialogue. Interesting details provided in types of firearms, behavior of horses, and terrain.

Loghard

Very nice and very pretty scenery in the mountains of northern Idaho USA is gorgeous

The friendship established between Finnigan ,Pops, Newsy, and the old backboard driver.

No bad language. The narration was excellent. Good clear smooth voice. Exciting at the reight times quiet at other times.

Wonderful visualization.

The author has a talent for bringing the reader into the story. Nicely done! Enjoyable!

Stuborness Sometimes Wins The Day

It is bad that sometimes the good die but that is the reality of life however when Men refuse to let justice be denied but carry it out then Justice is served.
