In the depth of a cruel High Lonesome winter comes a cryptic message for Smoke Jensen. The letter tells of skullduggery by gold barons, railroad magnates and Chinese tongs in San Francisco. Smoke knows only one person in the city by the bay: the well-rounded, open-natured Francie, mistress of one of the town's most notorious pleasure palaces.

Smoke once rescued her from raiding Cheyenne, but now Madame Francie is mysteriously dead...and Smoke's arrival in San Francisco is less than welcoming. Then, on the waterfront, he learns of a plot by the wealthy, the mighty, and the deadly to expand their stronghold over the region's gold-rich lands. Beating a trail into the High Sierras, Smoke recruits a band of angry prospectors, ranchers and farmers for a final showdown that could be the end of Smoke Jensen...

[lamb521 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Title: Cunning of the Mountain Man (The Last Mountain Man #14)Author: William W JohnstoneYear: 2001Publisher: PinnacleMy rating: 5 out of 5 starsSmoke Jensen is the well-known and much-loved character in the Johnstone country whose exploits keep readers coming back for more each year. Cunning of the Mountain Man tells the story of how Smoke Jensen wakes up to find himself jailed on murder charges. Smoke must find a way out of the jail cell in order to track down those guilty of murdering a rancher. However, that is hard to do when the town believes he is guilty and is planning a necktie party.Unbeknownst to the townies planning his demise, three of his hands are planning on getting him out. Once he is out, Smoke plans on clearing his name, which means he won’t be returning home to his beloved ranch and his wife Sally anytime soon. The villains in the story are men of wealth who believe they can take what they want and will pay top dollar to get the help they need. These three men also set upon a tract of land that belong to the Apaches, but there is gold there and they want that too!From the start of the tale to the very end the suspense doesn’t let up! The book held my attention from the moment I opened it, and the ending tugged at my heart. Many times, as I read I thought the story was reaching its conclusion only to find the author had more unseen trouble coming to Smoke and his friends. Even if you haven’t read any other Smoke Jensen tales, this one is a must!Note: The opinions shared in this review are solely my responsibility.
