Last Stage to El Paso

More about the book

From legendary Western writers William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone, the fifth high-speed Red Ryan adventure plunges into the lawless frontier, where every stagecoach is a target and every passenger needs protection. Red Ryan is tasked with guarding a reckless troupe of performers aboard the Grey Ghost stagecoach on a perilous trip across 400 deadly miles. Riding shotgun, he faces the longest and most dangerous journey of his life, with five passengers who each harbor dark secrets: a song-and-dance man with a drinking problem, a juggler hiding a past, a knife thrower with his own demons, and a beautiful fan dancer fleeing a vengeful one-eyed outlaw. The Gray Ghost stagecoach carries a grim reputation, having seen its last three drivers and three shotgun riders meet violent ends. Red, though not superstitious, must confront the reality of Apaches on the warpath and a relentless killer pursuing him. With the odds stacked against them, this journey becomes a nightmare, with all roads leading straight to hell.
