Killers Never Sleep (A Buck Trammel Western Book 6) Kindle Edition
The latest action-packed historical western from national bestselling authors William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone in which former Pinkerton man Buck Trammel takes up the badge in Wyoming Territory.
Ben Washington and his gang of murdering prairie rats have been terrorizing Wyoming Territory for quite a spell: rustling cattle, robbing stagecoaches and railroads, and slaughtering settlers. When Sheriff Buck Trammel of Laramie learns that Washington and his killers have been menacing an innocent family, he and his deputy ride out and bring Washington in the hard way—at the barrel of a gun.
When word spreads fast of Washington’s capture, gambler Adam Hagen begins taking wagers on the outlaw’s fate—where and when his gang will bust him loose—and quickly finds himself sitting atop a mountain of cash. Naturally, greed forces Hagen to open the stakes nationwide. As the stink of easy money grows, the New Orleans gang known as the LeBlanc Brothers crawl into town posing as cattlemen. And the LeBlanc’s never leave a job empty-handed . . .
When the LeBlanc Brothers team up with Washington’s cut-throats join Washington cut-throats, Trammel is forced to play a dangerous high-stakes game of own where any move he makes could not only cost a deputy his life, but threaten justice in Laramie forever.

There is a U.S. Marshal by the name of Leo Brandt who is on his way to Laramie to bring Ben Washington back to Cheyenne for trial. However, it isn’t long before the lawman finds himself in a desperate and deadly situation where he might not live long enough to bring the man in for trial. In Laramie, Adam has his suspicions about a couple of men who are attending a cattleman association meeting at his hotel. As soon as these men see the money Adam is raking in, the threat to keeping his money safe just becomes of great concern to Hagen. It soon becomes evident that the men he watched are going to make a move to take what is not theirs unless Adam can head off trouble.
In one of the most exciting stories of the Buck Trammel series, trouble from many directions is about to collide in Laramie. Buck is known for his tough stance as a lawman, and he dearly loves is wife. However, he can’t fight what he can’t see. Strangely enough, once again, Adam helps Buck look at various situations in the story from a totally different perspective. Whether that helps or hurts Buck, you’ll have to find out for yourself.
The Buck Trammel series has grit, romance, suspense, and surprises. I found that this novel was nail-biting all the way to the very end! Even the ending has me wondering what will come of Buck Trammel and his wife. I hope readers will enjoy the series as this Buck Trammel character is unpredictable, and Adam Hagen somehow seems to be a help and a hinder to the lawman.
Trammel has an erstwhile partner, the gambler and ne'er-do-well, Adam Hagen. Lots of back stories in this Western adventure including Hagen running a fabulous hotel that is far above the typical in a Western town. He has invited a large number of high-rollers to an introduction party of the hotel and gambling house. Unfortunately, there is in addition to the Washington gang another family criminal enterprise form New Orleans interested in Hagen's money.
With the two different sets of criminals and the tension between Hagen and Trammel along with the added issue of a town on edge, this makes for an intriguing story. Could the two divergent gangs come together? One of them is wanting their jailed leader free and the other wants money. It seems the recipe for disaster for the two gangs, the town, and the duo of Trammel and Hagen.
For me, the story unfolded too slowly and it was not clear where it was even going for a while. Of all the Johnstone characters, the duo of Trammel and Hagen are the least appealing--again for me. They are not repulsive nor caused me to not read the story--I just have to remember to continue to plow through until it gets sufficiently interesting...which the plots usually do. This one actually turned out pretty good -- enough so that I would recommend it to readers.
