SADDLE-UP FOR GUNFIGHTS, SALOON BRAWLS, A TOUCH OF ROMANCE, AND MAYHEM IN THE OLD WEST.

The southeastern Nevada mining camp of Pioche was known as one of the most corrupt and dangerous communities in the silver state. When it was rumored that a federal judge might be involved in schemes dealing with water and land issues, U.S. Marshal Bull Morrison and his deputy, Slim Calhoun were sent to investigate. They discovered rampant lawlessness led by a corpulent mine owner and allegedly backed by a federal judge in Salt Lake City.

The marshals were outnumbered and outgunned, but when they called for help from the local citizens, they got it. Schemes to control the waters of Lincoln County, to illegally acquire existing ranches, and to sell non-existent mines or phony stocks were among the crimes taking place.

“Five stars and more, is all I can say about this amazing story of realistic old American western folklore!”

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I’ve had a wonderful and varied time along this bumpy highway called life. I spent my early years in Santa Cruz, California, swimming, fishing, and wallowing in the splendor of redwoods, the Monterey Bay, and a loving family. Then, my four years of high school were spent living on the Island of Guam. That was back in the early 1950s Yes, Virginia, I am that old, but only in body, not spirit.

My first job in radio was in 1958. I bought the Virginia City Legend newspaper in that old western mining community in 1971, and retired from having a job in 2010. That’s when I changed from being a reporter of news to being a writer of fiction, and over these last few years have found my western and crime/mystery stories published as novels and in magazines and anthologies, around the world.

My beautiful wife Patty and I live on a small hobby farm about twenty miles north of Reno, Nevada, sharing space with a couple of fine horses, a flock of egg-producing chickens, and some breeding rabbits. You’re always welcome to visit. I need help cleaning those corrals.

Trouble in Pioche was a treat!

Johnny Gunn has done it again! I just finished this 4th book featuring a bull Morrison and Slim Calhoun and am looking forward to a fifth book of their adventures. I like a book where the answers to the problems aren’t super easy to find and solve.

The adventures of Slim and Bull are always entertaining. They don 't just shot first, they think about the whole picture before they act. When they finally act the out come is never in doubt. The story keeps you moving. It has humor, violence and a little romance. Detective work in a western society. Mr. Gunn has done it again. Great western adventure. Must read!

Johnny Gunn weaves a tangled web of deceit, fraud, corruption, and strong-armed bullying - then turns the U.S. Marshals Service loose to correct the situation.
Story is too tangled, too repetitive, and too predictable to rate more than 3 Stars.

Lots of action, so many sherries and Marshall’s and judges, sometimes the plot was hard to follow! Ending was somewhat anti climatic,

Loved Bull & Slim. The story plot was very good, complicated but believable and full of action. I enjoyed it and hated when the story ended! I recommend this book!

Johnny Gunn – Calhoun-Morrison Bk 4 – Trouble in Pioche – Reviewed 7/20/21 – Read 7/16-17/21

When crooks move in and take over the town of Pioche with their water, silver, and land schemes, most of the citizens just want to live in peace. Rumors have it that there is more corruption than just the outlaws and maybe a federal judge. The marshal has his hands full and there are more villains than he can take on by himself. He is even suspicious of some of his deputies. He can’t count the number of times that he had reached out for help to the federal judge’s office. But, little did he know that he would have some unknown help, word finally reaches San Francisco where Slim Calhoun and Bull Morrison are located. Their boss orders them to go undercover and try to figure out what is going on and who is involved.

Arriving in Pioche they head for the local saloon to try to obtain information that they need. They happen to learn that the local Marshall had been seen heading for their hotel, and the boys figured that he would be checking out their room. Sure enough, they catch him in the act of going through their bags. Sitting down to have a little chat with him, he informs them that he had requested help numerous times, but he figured that this last time it finally had been passed up the line, therefore he figured that the men were US Marshall’s. Of course, they are not sure that they can trust him, so they tell him to stay away from them and let them do their job. Next, they find out that the Sheriff is none other than an outlaw out of Texas, and so are his deputies.

Join Slim and Bull as they battle the outlaws and bring JUSTICE to Pioche the hard way…

What did I like? You have to love the lead characters, especially Bull Morrison! Try as he might, he just can’t keep out of fights, but then the way he sees it, it is just a little more fun and relaxing to beat the crap out of the bad guys. The two of them are the perfect team, brawn, and brains. But on the other hand, they work so well that it seems like they can read each other’s minds. Don’t you just love it when you find the perfect lead characters so in sync with each other?

What will you like? When Bull Morrison is around the action is in double time and this book is no different. He walks in and a fight breaks out. The characters are absolutely formidable, the criminals think they have everything under control, but you just never know when they have no clue that they are being led around on a string that they can’t see. It’s a pleasure to see the good guys win and take control. Johnny does an incredible job with his storyline, weaving the mystery around until the very end. His descriptions and attention to detail are extremely well researched and shows on every page. Those descriptions bring his storyline to life, and you just can’t lay this book down. “Trouble in Pioche” is available NOW!

Virginia dude

With Slim and BULL the action never stops

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2021

The two US Marshalls are send undercover to the town of Pioche to uncover the criminal actions going on. They find out they have walked into a problem way beyond what they expected. Almost everyone in town and surrounding area is either crooked or scared of those that are. Thus Mr Gunn continues a story of interest and action the entire way. Hang on and enjoy the read
