From America’s greatest storytellers comes a bold new chapter in the Will Tanner saga, an epic quest for justice at the crossroads of history—in a crossfire of bullets… DAY OF THE AVENGER U.S. Deputy Marshal Will Tanner earned his badge the old-fashioned way. He shot the bad guys, saved the good guys, and won the fear and respect of everyone in between. That’s how legends are born. But when he visits a friend at his ranch—and swaps lead with a trigger-happy horse thief—Will earns the wrath of the deadliest, lowlife killers west of the Mississippi. This is how legends die . . . Turns out the horse thief is a desperate ex-convict fresh out of Arkansas State Prison. His father is the notorious Colorado outlaw, Scorpion Jack Lynch. And Will Tanner is nothing but a moving target on a bloodsoaked trail of revenge. From a bar-room shootout in Texas, to a Chickasaw showdown in Oklahoma, to a dangerous encounter with a hellion named Hannah, Deputy Marshal Tanner has his hands full, his finger on the trigger—and his life on the line . . .

William Wallace Johnstone was a prolific American author, mostly of western, horror and survivalist novels. Born and raised in southern Missouri, Johnstone was the youngest of four children. His father was a minister and his mother a school teacher. He quit school when he was fifteen and worked in a carnival and as a deputy sheriff. He later served in the Army and, upon returning to civilian life, worked in radio broadcasting for 16 years. Johnstone started his writing career in 1970, but did not have any works published until 1979 (The Devil's Kiss) and became a full-time writer in 1980. He wrote close to two hundred books in numerous genres, including suspense and horror. His main publication series were Mountain Man, The First Mountain Man, Ashes and Eagles and his own personal favorite novel was The Last of the Dog Team (1980). He also authored two novels under the pseudonym William Mason. Johnstone had lived for many years in Shreveport, Louisiana, yet died in Knoxville, TN, at the age of 65. J. A. Johnstone is continuing William W. Johnstone's series.
