Hot lead, cold justice  Cover Image Book Book

Hot lead, cold justice / Mickey Spillane, Max Allan Collins.

Summary:

"A killer blizzard sweeping across the Southwest threatens the livelihoods of everyone in the town of Trinidad. But it's two gunshots that fell Sheriff Caleb York's unlucky deputy. As sure as the blood pooling in the snow, York knows it was a case of mistaken identity. The bullets were meant for him. It's the first nasty step in a plan rustled up by former Quantrill's Raider Luke "Burn 'Em" Burnham--eliminate the law, corral a team to rob a bank in booming Las Vegas, New Mexico, then lay low. With a treacherous local merchant for cover, and York out of the picture, all they'll have to do is wait for the calm. Then they get wind of one little hitch: not only is York still alive, but he's gunning for justice--and revenge. As the winter weather bears down, the stir-crazy outlaws aim to finish what they started--take down York and disappear into the blinding storm. As a chilling cat-and-mouse begins, York isn't about to let Burnham and his damnable gang get away. It'd be a cold day in hell if he did."--Provided by publisher.

Booklist


From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission.

Spillane befriended Collins and, shortly before dying of cancer, gave him his blessing to complete any unfinished manuscripts. Since 2007, Collins has completed 26 Spillane novels. This is the fifth in the Caleb York series (e.g., Last Stage to Hell Junction, 2019). In New Mexico during the "Great Die Up" blizzard of 1887, Caleb York is settling into his role as sheriff, but he's thrown off his game when his deputy is shot in an act of mistaken identity. York quickly learns that Luke "Burn 'Em" Burnham is out of prison, 10 years after York put him in for bank robbery. Burnham is looking for a quick heist and revenge. Under ordinary circumstances, York would have been two steps ahead, but the blizzard puts York and Burnham on an even playing field. It's an exciting game of cat-and-mouse with an entertaining love triangle thrown in for good measure. Accurate details of the historical blizzard are a meticulous touch, and readers looking for more information will appreciate the informal bibliography.
