Dark Is the Night

Written by William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone

Narrated by John Little

From the bestselling chroniclers of the American West comes the second gunblazing adventure that could only happen in Texas. Meet Cullen McCabe, a Lone Star sheriff who learned—the hard way—that there are two sure things in life …

The great state of Texas is a land of opportunity. For outlaws. And that he’s the man to protect the good people of Texas at any cost—and put the blast on anyone who gets in his way …

YOU ARE NOW ENTERING TEXAS. SAY YOUR PRAYERS.

There are a million ways to die in the great state of Texas. And on the lawless streets of New Hope, the odds are even worse. Once the home of Comanche, the region has been up for grabs since the settlers drove off the natives. Now it’s a magnet for settlers looking for cheap land, merchants looking to exploit its
resources—and outlaws looking for a place to hide in between robbing and killing.

With shootouts and showdowns being a nightly occurrence, it’s one of the deadliest places on earth. And the governor ain’t happy about it. He wants to clean up the town. He wants to wipe away the scum. And he knows just the man to do it …

Enter Cullen McCabe. A small-town sheriff turned special agent, McCabe doesn’t care what he has to do—or who he has to kill—to rid this hellhole of every rustler, robber, and ruthless cuss in sight.

Especially the notorious Viper Gang …
