Review - The Intruders - 3.5 stars

 

The Intruders, a novel by William and J.A. Johnstone is a continuing story of a former Pinkerton agent become pseudo-sheriff in Blackwater, Wyoming.  From earlier novels it will be remembered that Buck Trammel is a large man who is as good with his fists as he is with his guns.

A former friend named Adam Hagen has become obsessed with taking down his “father” better known as “King Charles Hagen.”  Adam has been successful in many enterprises, mostly criminal in raising a lot of money to help in his attach of the castle.

The “King” is not willing to go lightly so the interplay of these along with a bounty on Trammel’s head lead to lots of interesting confrontations with lots of villains. Adam is not totally anti his old friend Trammel but there is a lot of tension.

The end game is to see who is the “last man standing.”  Twists and turns allow the reader to keep guessing until the end.  You’ll just have to read this book to see who survives – not everyone does and those who do are not unscathed! Warning there is lots of blood in this novel.
