THE GREATEST WESTERN WRITERS OF THE 21ST CENTURY The New York Times bestselling author William W. Johnstone delivers the powerful story of a lone man’s journey across the wild west—among outlaws, adventurers, and brave men and women building a new land. Imposter With his legend dogging him everywhere he goes, Frank Morgan longs for a place to settle down. His choice is a remote corner of untamed Northern California, a land of towering trees and rugged hills. But for Frank, the haven is a hell. A man who is his exact look-alike has been terrorizing the local population, and when the townspeople get their hands on Frank, a hangman’s rope is sure to follow. If he’s going to be taken for an outlaw, Frank Morgan is going to act like one. Busting out of jail with a six-gun and a plan, he’s leaving this paradise behind—and won’t come back until he's planted a killer in the ground . . .
