Valley of Fire

ebook
"Boggs is unparalleled in evoking the gritty reality of the Old West." —The Shootist
An Unholy Alliance
Micah Bishop doesn't believe in miracles—until a derringer-packing nun busts him out of jail. But it's not Christian charity that's driving Sister Genevieve—she wants Micah to take her to a place called the Valley of Fire, deep in the most lawless and perilous part of New Mexico Territory. It was here where an order of nuns met their Maker, and it's Sister Genevieve's mission to see that they are given a proper funeral.
Or so she claims.
Micah's not in the habit of helping nuns, but it turns out the only true vow Genevieve ever took was to get rich—and there's a fortune in gold buried along with the sisters. With kill-crazy bandits and blood-hunting bounty hunters after them, it'll take a miracle to reach the Valley of Fire, let alone get the gold. But sometimes, the Almighty does work in mysterious ways. . .
"Johnny Boggs has produced another instant page-turner. . .don't put down the book until you finish it." —Tony Hillerman on Killstraight
"Johnny D. Boggs tells a crisply powerful story that rings true more than two centuries after the bloody business was done." —The Charleston (S.C.) Post and Courier on The Despoilers
Raves For The Westerns Of Johnny D. Boggs
"Another dramatic story by a finalist for the Spur award of Western Writers of America." —Amarillo Globe-News (on Once They Wore the Gray)
"An entertaining western in the classic mold. The characters possess enough human frailty to be believable, the author includes interesting stuff on the weaponry of the times, and there is enough gunplay to satisfy genre purists." —Booklist on Ten and Me
"Boggs has once more written a humdinger of a book with wonderful characters, even the villains. The Despoilers tears at one's heart, which is what really good fiction should do." —Roundup on The Despoilers
"Boggs' unique approach to the Lincoln County War's legal skirmishing is both eye-opening and memorable." —True West on Law of the Land
". . . a finely crafted historical novel with fully developed characters playing out their lives against the backdrop of early Texas settlement." —American Cowboy on Spark on the Prairie
"Boggs delivers a colorful, clever and arresting tale." —Santa Fe New Mexican on Camp Ford
