GET READY FOR A DOSE OF ACTION AND ADVENTURE WITH A HEAPING HELPING OF WESTERN JUSTICE!
“Bloody” Joe Mannion is a town tamer of great renown. His temper is just as famous. Known as the most uncompromising lawman on the Western frontier, he’s been the town marshal of Del Norte in the Colorado Territory for the past five years after several years bringing to heel towns in Kansas and Oklahoma back in the days of the great Texas cattle herds.
One day in Del Norte, he loses his famous temper and badly beats Whip Helton, the son of a prominent rancher. That night, the son and his outlaw pards burn Joe’s house and kidnap and rape his daughter. Joe goes on the warpath, getting crossways with the son’s father, prominent rancher Garth Helton. By getting crossways with Helton, Joe gets crossways with his town. The town’s prominent boosters want the money Helton has invested in Del Norte as well as the railroad he wants to bring there.
Now with Whip Helton behind bars, his father has issued an ultimatum to Bloody Joe and the town—either turn his son loose or he and his Spur riders will burn the town to the ground and sift the ashes. Bloody Joe finds himself between a rock and a hard place, waiting for a bullet in the back. But that’s all right. He wouldn’t have it any other way. To make sure Whip Helton hangs for kidnapping and rape, Bloody Joe will risk everything, including his life, the town, and a hail of hot lead!

Bloody Joe Mannion is the town marshal in peaceful Del Norte. It was not always this way. Once upon a time, Del Norte was overrun with every kind of lawlessness one could imagine. That is why Joe was hired in the first place. Now, he has two deputies, and one of the bigger problems they face is some rowdy ranch hands. Oh yeah, and the spoiled son of the richest rancher in the area. One day, this son breaks a month-long ban, incurs some property damage, and Jow hits his limit. This son and three of his friends burn down Joe’s house, kidnap (and savagely rape his daughter) and leave Joe for dead. Joe does not die. Now, he is hell-bent on revenge, and nothing will stand in his way. He wants his daughter back, and the bastards that took her to pay, in blood.
Actually, it is Peter Brandvold telling the tale, and this one is, in my humble opinion, is one of his best. Everything you could want in a western is within these pages: action, adventure, romance, a villain you really want to despise, a tortured hero who has a list of personal rules he does not break, and a town that needs his help whether they want it or not.
One of the other things going for this book is the writing. If you are a fan of Mr. Brandvold, then you are aware of his writing style, and you can watch the movie of this book unfold in your mind. If this is your first “Mean Pete” book, then you are really in for a treat! You will blow through this book in no time. It is written to flow like the Colorado River after a storm, and you will not miss a thing.
I could say I liked this book, but that would be a lie. I LOVED this book, and I am eagerly awaiting the next one in the series!
I give this 5++ bookmarks out of 5!!!!!!
I've read many Brandvolds.......always i'm left wanting more, never once disappointed! This Bloody Joe got me thru some flu from hell!
