Johnny Montana: A Western Story

By Michael Zimmer

A gold miner is on the run from a gang of deadly thieves in this Western “page-turner filled with excitement and suspense” (Historical Novel Society).

In the Redhawk Mining District, they call him Johnny Montana. He and his fellow miners have accumulated sizable caches of gold dust, ready to be transported off the mountain. But the outlaw Brett Cutter and his gang of cutthroats watch the roads and byways for anyone trying to leave. Vacating miners are attacked, robbed, and left dead.

As the miners grow fearful that their claim will be attacked, they devise a desperate plan. A lone rider entrusted with their gold must attempt to slip by unnoticed. But soon after Johnny sets out on his perilous journey, he hears the horrible sounds of the camp being raided behind him. And when the cutthroats realize the gold is missing, a deadly chase begins in this action-packed Western of greed, revenge, and survival.
