The Dark Sunrise

Sheriff Aaron Mackey Western Series, Book 4

By: Terrence McCauley

Narrated by: J. Rodney Turner

The burden of the badge

At long last, US Marshal Aaron Mackey and Deputy Billy Sunday will see crime baron James Grant and his kill-crazy cronies stand trial for the mayhem and suffering they unleashed on the people of Dover Station. But as Montana Territory's statehood is approaching, murdering devils like Grant can no longer be tolerated in positions of political power. 

Or can they? Montana's capital of Helena follows its own set of laws - laws that not only set Grant free, but give peacekeeping authority to a sadistic murdering gunslinger like Colonel Warren Bell, Mackey's commanding officer during the war. The city's leaders prefer keeping killers like Grant and Bell under their thumbs. 

Mackey knows there's no controlling these bloodthirsty madmen. And if they think they're above the law, then Mackey and Billy will just have to appoint themselves judge, jury, and executioners....

Great Western Series

This is a great western! Starting with the smooth, strong narration, these novels are smartly constructed and paced to keep you engaged. If you love the classics, this one’s for you.

The best yet!

Loved the story and the narrator all the characters the author really keeps you going.
Hard to put down.

The Grande Finale of the Aaron Mackey saga!

Excellent story, masterfully told.
In true McCauley fashion, the story grabs you from page one, gives you a moment here and there to catch your breath, and accellerates to a dynamic finish that's sure to not disappoint.
Would love to see what's down the road for Aaron and Katherine, Billy, and the rest of the crew, now residing in Helena...

plot, characters and readinh

revenge beast is inside everyone. most can contain that beast but sometimes it can not be contained. reading by J Rodney is exquisite.

Great series, wonderful narrator!

Another wonderful read/listen on Audible! I never tire of J. Rodney Turners voice, or the Mackey series. Love the spin off books that follow, too. So much better than the other western books. Good plot, lots of excitement, great finish!
