The Forbidden

Front Cover
Pinnacle Books, 2001 - Fiction - 304 pages
No writer at work today captures the vanishing frontier like William W. Johnstone. His acclaimed Mountain Man novels have set a new standard for Western fiction, and have brought the history of that frontier to life as never before. Now, once again, he has created a series about the West as it really was. "The Last Gunfighter" is the boldly authentic saga of warriors and outlaws, lawmen and adventurers, and the innocents caught in between.

Like the three national bestsellers in the series that have come before, "The Last Gunfighter: The Forbidden," is the story of Frank Morgan, a man who lived by his gun, his wits and his conscience.

Outlaws smashed his life, left his wife dying, and carried off his son. Now all Frank Morgan wants is to hang up his guns and settle down in peace. But that changes when he rides into the middle of a Montana range war, where a valley has been ripped apart by hatred and fear...and where his legend proves to be as dangerous as his guns. In a battle that's not his, Frank must choose a side, make a stand, and be willing to die for a place some people will call home.
