Emile is the younger brother of Johnny who ran a gang of cutthroats, men who will kill without a pause. Now Emile is behind bars
Johnny comes up with several different plans and attempts to get Emile out before he hangs, but what Johnny doesn’t count on is Duff. Johnny also doesn’t count on those who will rise up and protect others and keep Emile in jail. Duff takes on a mean man with a long-range gun with a scope, one in which the victim never hears the shot before the bullet strikes!
A romance is growing between Duff and Meaghan that makes reading the story more enjoyable. Duff once lived in Scotland, raising angus beef which he is now doing successfully in Wyoming. Meaghan is a seamstress but also part owner of the Angus beeves on Sky Meadow ranch which Duff began years prior. Elmer is Duff’s foreman but more than that he is a friend, and what is fun to learn his more about Elmer’s shady past which gets revealed a little at a time.
Kill Crazy is an exciting tale that keep readers turning pages. Those who are or aren’t familiar with Duff’s past and present will still enjoy the adventure that awaits in the pages!
