About this audiobook
In the follow-up to The Circuit Rider, award-winning writer Dan Ames brings us back into the dusty, dangerous world of enigmatic itinerant preacher Mike Tower and his trusty right-hand woman, the hard-drinking, gun-slinging Bird Hitchcock.
Tower is sent to the Wyoming boomtown of Big River, where a young preacher has been viciously murdered, his crucified body left in a small valley known as Killer’s Draw. When Tower and Bird arrive in town, it quickly becomes obvious that no one wants to talk about the preacher—not about his life or his death. Tower is disturbed by the townspeople’s silence, and Bird’s no help—she disappeared into the nearest saloon as soon as they got off the train. Tower promptly finds himself in need of Bird’s quick reflexes as locals begin dying at an unnatural rate, and the circuit rider and his companion become the prime targets in the mysterious killer’s sights.
A fast-paced tale of two mismatched vigilantes with a taste for justice, Killer’s Draw is a booze-soaked, blood-splattered Wild West adventure.

Reviews for Killer's Draw

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I read this in one day so it's certainly easy to read and entertaining. The reason I didn't give it a higher rating is that it bothers me when a book falls short on details. Dani Amore frequently uses words wrong here and has historical inaccuracies. And the monumental coincidence that wraps up the book is just ridiculous. But that said, if you don't notice things like that---this is a fantastic book. If you do notice those sorts of details, then you might still enjoy the book, I did, but it might not be the best book to buy.One thing that amused me at the start was that the book was dedicated to Elmore Leonard and then led off with a floridly written first chapter which is nothing like Leonard's writing at all. Fortunately Amore settled into a far more engaging voice for the rest of the book.The two main characters, Mike Tower and Bird Hitchcock, are both engaging but Tower is far more realistic. Hitchcock is mostly a caricature due to her impossibly high consumption of alcohol, often drinking several bottles of whiskey a day, but despite that she's still likable though she was pushing the line with the fellow who was branding his cattle.
