Shooting Iron

Devil's Gulch, Book 2

By: William W. Johnstone, J. A. Johnstone

Narrated by: A.W. Miller

The thundering new adventure starring traveling gunslinger John Holt, a lawman-for-hire on a mission to serve justice across the untamed Colorado territories—one bullet at a time.

One of the deadliest, crime-infested towns in Colorado Territory, Devil's Gulch needed more than a sheriff. They needed a gunslinger. So they pinned a badge on hardcase lawman John Holt. And the rest is history.

As the town's new sheriff, John Holt achieved the impossible: He drove the devil out of Devil's Gulch. Corrupt, cutthroat rancher Joe Mullen—who ruled the land with an iron fist—is finally behind bars, thanks to Sheriff Holt. But the tables are turned when Mullen manages to overturn his prison wagon and make his escape—with an army of prisoners, outlaws, and lowlifes to do his bidding.

It doesn't take long for the streets of Devil's Gulch to run red with blood. Again. Or for Holt to be marked for death. Again. But this time, the sheriff's up against more than a hundred men—all of them gunning for him—and his only allies are an all-too-young deputy, an all-too-angry farmer, and a wayward wagon cook. With odds this bad, Holt is sure of only one thing: when you shoot at the devil, it's best not to miss.

Masterful Story Telling

Many twist and turns in this story. I like that the girl was scared the evil intents of the outlaws and the unrelenting resolve of Marshall Holt.

Lots of dialog, little action

I liked Old Bob and Mr. Patterson. I liked the way the tough sheriff trusted both oldtimers. Also the farmer Mr Henderson's surprising declaration during the read.

Great character mix!!

Very good Book 2 continuation of the Devil’s Gulch story. Lots of characters and personalities…The story keeps moving along, the mental pictures created are g

Quick easy read

This was a good book with good character development I am looking forward to the next in the series.

Complexity of characters

Excellent stories, great voice(s), and gripping ending. The levity is always great too. I have listened to at least 25 of these books from this author. Amazing.

No ending

There was no real ending. We will have to wait for another book to come out.

Truth and Justice

The story seems to drag on not any boring way the fact that the bad guy gets on getting away.

A great story

As always, a great story from J.A., Johnstone, William, Johnstone, I really enjoyed this book and I hope you do too

good plot, characters

the sequel is as goodcas the first. I like that the stone cold sheriff is taken to the young man that he names as his deputy. who knows, maybe there's a ranch with a house and a specisl lady in his future. we will see.

When I bought the first book , I loved it. This is a good story but changing the narrator was a big mistake.

When you have e a series. Don’t change narrators . It completely changes the feeling of the characters.
