Emmett Love is a gunfighter making his way through the lawless American frontier in John Locke’s Western series. The books follow Emmett and a rotating cast of companions as they deal with outlaws, frontier justice, and the unpredictable dangers of life in the Old West. Locke brings the same sharp pacing from his thriller writing to a very different setting.
The series ran from 2011 to 2016 across six books, starting with Follow the Stone and ending with Spider Rain. Locke wrote the first three books in a single year before spacing out the later entries. Readers who enjoy Westerns with a sense of humor and brisk storytelling will find a lot to like here.
