The Loner: Trail of Blood

by J. A. Johnstone

Overview

Conrad Browning is about to face his deadliest challenge yet in this wild west thriller from the USA Today–bestselling author of Killer Poker.

Bravery Is in the Blood

The son of legendary gunman Frank Morgan, Conrad Browning goes by the name Kid Morgan—the Loner—and forged a growing reputation of his own. But in the midst of a fight for his life, the Kid discovered that he too was a father: of twins he’d never met. Now, the Kid heads back east to pierce a mystery guarded by murderous criminals for hire. Why is his ex-fiancée hiding his children from him? And why is this secret worth killing to keep? The answers lead the Kid back to a small Kansas town and a tale of cruelty, greed and power—the kind of story his father always knew how to end: with courage and a gun . . .

“Another terrific entry in The Loner series . . . The tale is peopled with many memorable characters and descriptions put me right there in the midst of the action.” —Western Fiction Review

About the Author

Being the all-around assistant, typist, researcher, and fact checker to one of the most popular western authors of all time, J.A. Johnstone learned from the master, Uncle William W. Johnstone.  
 
He began tutoring J.A. at an early age. After-school hours were often spent retyping manuscripts or researching his massive American Western History library as well as the more modern wars and conflicts. J.A. worked hard—and learned.
 
“Every day with Bill was an adventure story in itself. Bill taught me all he could about the art of storytelling. ‘Keep the historical facts accurate,’ he would say. ‘Remember the readers, and as your grandfather once told me, I am telling you now: be the best J.A. Johnstone you can be.’”
