Synopsis

They say revenge is a dish best served cold.... They better be right.

Sixteen-year-old Lon Pearce is an orphan who has lost both his parents separately at the hands of the same man, local business owner Carl Teverence. Grief-stricken by their murders, he heads into town, half-cocked and ready to take his vengeance... only things don't quite turn out the way he'd hoped. Teverence and his men see him coming a mile away. They turn the tables on him with ease, and Lon is lucky to escape with his life. 

Alone and hunted, Lon is forced to leave everything he knows and loves behind, even his name. Now known only as Shawnee, he journeys west across the plains on a long and lonely trail. He hasn't forgotten the score he has to settle, but he needs to learn the skills to make it possible. He lends a hand to those he finds in need along the way-even when it forces him further outside the law.

Will Shawnee find his way back home to deliver the justice he so desperately desires? Will he have learned enough to defeat Teverence and his men, or will he wind up in a shallow grave next to his parents? And even if he is successful, will he have enough integrity-enough of his soul remaining-to think of himself as a good man? An action-filled adventure of loss and revenge, Bob Giel's Shawnee will have you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

About this title

About the Author

Despite being a born-and-bred New Yorker who lived most of his life in New Jersey, Bob Giel was a cowboy at heart and lived by the cowboy code. When most of the world today laughs at the quaint and seemingly antiquated concept of honor, he embodied it. Always faithful. Always loyal. Always giving his best effort. Always honest. And perhaps most importantly, keeping his word no matter what. Those values weren't just an act or an affectation, but something he worked at and recommitted to every day. Sadly, Bob passed away in early 2023, but his work and his ethos will continue to live on in his writing.
