Left on her own to tend to a hopeless harvest, she watched as her husband, Fletcher, was seduced by saloon girls, card tables and violent robbery.
Now Fletcher is dead. To free herself and the quiet Nebraskan countryside from her husband’s mounting cruelty, Star pulled the trigger.
Star is the only person that sees justice has been served.
On trails and rails, Star battles across the tormented Great Plain to get to her aunt and uncle’s ranch in Colorado. Freedom and peace are on the horizon.
Now, the law is on her trail.
U.S. Marshal Duke Horne always gets his man. This time, he’s determined to get his woman – Star Holiday, wanted for her husband’s death.
But he finds fresh blood in her tracks. Star’s actions have stoked the fury of Fletcher’s outlaw companions – men like Roland Abbot.
Roland Abbot doesn’t care to arrest Star. He’s looking to kill her, and anybody else that wants to keep him away from his big pay day.
As paths converges in the serene cattle ranges of the foothills, Star can no longer hide. Duke begins to doubt her guilt.
If Star wants her taste of freedom to last, she’ll have to pull the trigger of her Smith & Wesson once more.
Can Star help justice reign? Or is her new sanctuary just another dead end?
Another classic western with respectful romance and women as strong frontier folk from author William Black.
Each book in the American Post-Civil War Westerns series is a standalone story that can be read out of order.
Trailing Star (American Post-Civil War Westerns) Reviews
-
Star tried to stop her husband from killing a man. it didn’t work so in self defense she shot him and ran.
Star had tried everything to make her marriage work, but his brothers won the battle and Fletcher changed. He was now a mean drunk that caroused all the time. When he came home he was cruel and used his fist on her a lot. Then she found out he was joining his brothers and another man to rob and kill a man for his gold and money. She tried to stop it but instead of her husband being thought guilty it was her. She tried to get her husband to do the right thing but he was so mad that she had the guts to try to stop them he attacked her and she shot him. The only thing she could do was run. That left the three partners and the Marshall to be on her trail. -
I enjoyed the main characters in this book but it just drug out a little too much for me. Roland was a despicable person.
