In a land of towering mountains and howling winds, a man has found a home away from other men and away from memories of the past. A trapper by trade, a fighter at heart, he has earned the name "Preacher," and a legend of his own. In the wilds, Preacher has learned the rules of survival, and he has killed in order to live. But now something is forcing him out of his Rocky Mountain range for the so-called "civilized" world." It is the memory of a woman. It is her blood calling out for revenge. In St. Louis, a girl from Preacher's past has been murdered. For the man whose heart she once touched, the time has come to leave the high wild country - for truth, justice, and a new reason to kill!

Preacher - Jennie killed and he visits his family
17 Mar 2008
By Douglas G. Thomas
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is another of the "can't put it down" books by William W. Johnstone. How that man can write!
In this story, Preacher is on his way back to St. Louis, where Dog has been guarding Jennie. He arrives to learn that Jennie was killed to keep her from talking about the swindle which Epson did to her. The killer Epson hired was named Caviness.
Preacher (Art) sets out to find Epson, who has moved to Philadelphia where he has an excellent position with a much-larger bank than had employed him in St. Louis. On the way, he stops at his family's farm, to learn his father has a mortgage which must be paid very soon and there is no money to pay it. We learn Art's last name is Coopersmith.
He pays the mortgage, in the process teaching the banker and his thugs a harsh lesson, and tells his father that the farm should go to his brother, Morgan, who stayed home and worked hard while Art "went to see the Creature". He tells his father that he believes he did see it, and that he is happy with his life out West.
Tracking down Epson and Coopersmith in Philadelphia, Art kills Caviness after the criminal kills Epson.
A very-engrossing tale, and almost every page has excitement and intrigue.

I'm a huge wwj fan, I've read 30-40 of his books in the last two years. Unfortunately this is the first of his I stopped reading and threw away. I'm pretty familiar with wwj's voice in his writing and the first thing that struck me was that in this book the characters didn't speak the same. The narrator spoke differently than other books and some of the classic wwj lines that are in every other of his books weren't in here.
I read somewhere online that another author has taken over his writings and I can't help but think there are other books, including this one, the other author might have penned without credit. I wouldn't recommend this book to new readers or sadly long time fans.
