Once More with a Vengeance
(2016)(The tenth book in the Ben Stillman series)
A novel by Peter Brandvold
LOVE AND DEATH, BULLETS AND BLOOD . . .
Sheriff Ben Stillman finds himself in the unenviable position of having to arrest a young man for murder on suspicious evidence.
But the cards are stacked against the young firebrand who calls himself Johnny Nevada. One, Johnny has gotten Judge Hoagland's daughter pregnant, shaming and enraging Hoagland himself. Two, Johnny warned Dave Bliss he was going to kill him because Bliss ordered Johnny to stay away from Bliss's daughter, Sarah, whom the young Casanova was also sparking. Johnny made the warning public and two weeks later Bliss was dead.
Now Stillman has Johnny locked up in his jail at the courthouse. The judge wants to try the boy pronto and won't recuse himself though under the circumstances Stillman knows he should.
Meanwhile, a bank robbery in Clantick interrupts the wedding of Doctor Clyde Evans and Katherine Kemmett, giving the roguish doctor just enough time to reconsider his affection for not only bachelorhood but the pretty young waitress, Evelyn Vincent.
Genre: Western
