In The Painted Sky -- Volume 5, we are once again drawn into the sweltering, desert plains of New Mexico, where handsome, gun slinging preachers join forces with the widows and a ruthless cattle baron to combat the Apaches, and help protect the God-fearing folks of Cazadora.The David brothers have successfully opened the doors of their new church and uninvited guests show up at the conclusion of the service -- Blood Lance and his band of Apaches! Ahab Hawthorne, the David brothers' sworn enemy, joins forces with them to ward off the vicious Indian attack. However, are the Methodist preachers as dangerous as the Apache -- only in a different way? The widows, Joyeux and Marianne, are soon to find out! As Apache arrows and bullets are whizzing about them, who is going to protect them from the love arrows piercing their unguarded, wounded hearts? And as someone is found with a bullet in his back we are left wondering who the perpetrator is...Murray Pura, the master storyteller, has once again written an exciting tale that will leave your heart racing 'til the climactic finish! I am always disappointed when his stories come to an end, and can't wait until the next volume comes out. Be sure to read volumes 1-4 to get acquainted with the lovely, brave widows and the handsome David brothers!
