Product Description

Product Description

Manhunter's Mountain shows a powerful side to Cash Laramie as he makes his way down the side of a mountain with a prisoner in tow, and two prostitutes eager to flee a mining town that's gone bust, looking to make a new life for themselves. An early winter storm promises to make the journey more than a normal struggle. And, leaving town with two of its most precious gems, the prostitutes, puts Cash in the crosshairs of an angry gang of men who are willing to keep the women in town ... at any cost.

A fast, hardboiled Western that continues the Cash Laramie legend with swagger and good, solid writing. Wayne Dundee brings his masterful voice to the Western and tells a Cash Laramie story in perfect pitch. Manhunter's Mountain should be on every Western fiction reader's bookshelf.

-- Larry D. Sweazy, Spur Award-winning author of The Coyote Tracker.


Edward A. Grainger's outlaw marshal is on the trail again in this first full-length Cash Laramie novel written by hardboiled veteran Wayne D. Dundee.

This novella sees Cash riding into a remote town on the trail of a wanted man. The town is remote, in the mountains, and many trails are closed off by the snow. It's a gritty and enjoyable tale. There are a fair few moments where it looks like Cash won't survive the town itself.

His escape is made with the town's two remaining whores (the only women in town): something the town's folk - rough and ready silver miners - are not too pleased about. A few of them decide they are going to tack Cash down and bring the women back. If that wasn't bad enough a bounty hunter turns up and he is after the same man Cash has in his custody. Now it looks like Cash Laramie is standing between one of the nastiest bounty hunters around and his bounty. Add to this the mountains in winter and you have the elements of Manhunter's Mountain

This book is a feature length story based around Edward A. Grainger's hard-bitten US Marshal Cash Laramie. I've seen the name Wayne Dundee before but have never read any of his work. I have to admit I was a bit worried about read a story about a character I enjoy that is written by a different author.

If you haven't read any of the Cash Laramie stories it will not lessen your enjoyment of this book. This is cowboy fiction plain and simple. Don't walk away. It isn't quite that simple. Reading this book made me think I was sitting on the sofa with my dad brandishing my plastic Colt at the TV. At the same time though this feels like a Hardboiled crime novel that just happens to be set in the Old West.

There is not the same feel about this book as I found with the previous Cash stories. This is certainly a character deserving of a longer story and this one does him justice. I was engrossed from start to finish with the characters and the plot. If I have one criticism of this book, I'd have to say that it felt a little short and missing a final confrontation, one with a dirty great gun fight.

It doesn't take more than a couple of hours to read this book and it costs about the same as a filter coffee so you don't really have an excuse not to give this story a try.

Great Western Adventure 5 Jan 2012
By James Reasoner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
David Cranmer continues to allow other authors to contribute to the on-going saga of U.S. Marshals Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles, and he couldn't have made a better choice for MANHUNTER'S MOUNTAIN than Wayne D. Dundee, who has rapidly vaulted into the top ranks of current Western writers.

The manhunter of the title is Arapaho-raised, hardnosed lawman Cash Laramie, who arrives in the dying mining town of Silver Gulch on the trail of a fugitive. He finds and arrests his quarry in pretty short order, but as it turns out, that's not his main challenge. There are other manhunters, too, and Cash's big job will be getting out of the mountains in the middle of a winter storm with some murderous miners and a ruthless bounty hunter on his trail. The two soiled doves he's trying to get back to civilization at the same time will only complicate matters.

Dundee keeps the action moving along at a rapid pace, and as always, Cash Laramie is a compelling character, a testament to Cranmer's creation of him in the first place. The supporting characters are interesting as well, and the fact that not everything turns out exactly as you might expect is an added bonus. So are the excellent descriptions of the landscape and the way the mountains and the weather almost become characters in their own right.

MANHUNTER'S MOUNTAIN is a fast, very entertaining novel, and I'm sure fans of Cash Laramie and of Westerns in general will thoroughly enjoy it. I certainly did.

A Hardboiled Western 5 Mar 2012
By David Cranmer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
I publish the Cash Laramie and Gideon Miles series and am very proud of this entry from Wayne D. Dundee. Mr. Dundee is a disciple of the hardboiled school of storytelling and brings his gifted style to MANHUNTER'S MOUNTAIN.

Excellent continuation to the series 16 Mar 2012
By Michael Schramme - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have followed Cash and Miles from the start and quickly became a fan of David Cranmer's pithy and succinct stories in a fresh historical context that sounds very plausible. He takes a risk every time he invites another author to contribute, not least because the transition from short story characters to a full-size novel may require a different approach. Having said that, this one is a flawless continuation and provides for some entertaining and tense reading. Excellent!
