Wayward Brother

The murder of a well-beloved citizen of Last Stand has Sheriff Gideon Johann and Deputy Finnie Ford searching for the killer while dealing with stolen Indian boys and the unruly prospectors that have descended on the town. With the news that an old war buddy has escaped from prison, Gideon questions whether he is capable of bringing a man to justice that once saved his life. Gideon and Finnie find themselves overwhelmed as they uphold the law and watch over their families and friends. Duane Boehm has written another western novel with enough humor, heartbreak, love, and outlaws to keep you turning the page. can be read as a stand-alone novel, but will provide a richer reading experience if the Gideon Johann Western Series is read in chronological order.
