Red River Vengeance — William W. Johnstone; J.A. Johnstone

JOHNSTONE COUNTRY. VENGEANCE IS HERE.

A good man like Perley Gates knows that when you race with the devil, you'd better cross the finish line first -- or you won't finish at all...

They rode into town like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Four armed outlaws bringing their own brand of hell to Paris, Texas. First they rob the First National Bank. Then they take a woman hostage as insurance. When Perley Gates learns that local waitress Becky Morris is in the hands of these tough customers, he rides alone to get her back. Problem is, the outlaws are heading toward the Red River -- straight into Indian Territory. That's where the ranch hands draw the line. But Perley won't give up. He manages to rescue the girl, but not before killing the gang's leader. Now he's incurred the wrath of the other three . . .

The race is on. Come hell or high water, Perley has to get Becky across the Red River -- before three vengeful devils make it flow with their blood . . .
