Burning Daylight (Luke Jensen Bounty Hunter) Mass Market Paperback – June 25, 2019
Purchase options and add-ons
Bounty hunter Luke Jensen has always relied on his guns, his brains, and his guts to bring in the deadliest outlaws in the West. But when a family needs his help, he’ll have to use something else: his heart . . .
BLOOD IS THICKER THAN SLAUGHTER
Luke Jensen has seen some sorry looking bounties in his time, but this one takes the cake. A wanted poster is offering a reward of one dollar and forty-two cents—plus one busted harmonica—to capture Three-Fingered Jack McKinney. Turns out, McKinney’s twelve-year-old son Aaron wants revenge on his daddy for abandoning him and his mom. The reward is all the money Aaron can scrape together. Luke can’t say no to the poor boy—or his beautiful mother—so he agrees to go after McKinney and his bank-robbing gang.
Good deeds, however, are like good intentions—the road to hell is paved with them. And when Aaron McKinney decides to tag along, it puts Luke in the middle of a father-and-son reunion that’s life-or-death, blood-for-blood, and kill-or-be-killed. . . .

About the Author
Being the all-around assistant, typist, researcher, and fact checker to one of the most popular western authors of all time, J.A. Johnstone learned from the master, Uncle William W. Johnstone.
He began tutoring J.A. at an early age. After-school hours were often spent retyping manuscripts or researching his massive American Western History library as well as the more modern wars and conflicts. J.A. worked hard—and learned.
“Every day with Bill was an adventure story in itself. Bill taught me all he could about the art of storytelling. ‘Keep the historical facts accurate,’ he would say. ‘Remember the readers, and as your grandfather once told me, I am telling you now: be the best J.A. Johnstone you can be.’”

- Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2023As a senior citizen my voracious reading passion has spanned more than 7 decades. My reading interests have ranged from the scientific to the esoteric and from detective stories to westerns. Over the years I have had the pleasure of reading numerous great western writers. This is why when I saw this 317-page paperback book on Amazon (Burning Daylight: A Luke Jensen Bounty Hunter by William W. Johnstone and J. A, Johnstone) I decided to purchase it.
I have read several western novels in the Luke Jensen series and found them to be entertaining reads. This Luke Jensen tale begins with Luke getting ready to have a drink at a saloon in Summerville in the Arizona territory, where he has been hunting three killer outlaws. As with many beginning books, this story starts with one of the four owl hoots Luke is looking for begins to shoot at Luke, but the bounty hunter winds up killing him, as well two other of the wanted men, while the fourth one got away. At this point one of the killers was taken alive; however, this is just the beginning of this interesting western story. The story gets more complex and interesting, but never give away too much information when reviewing any novel.
If you are a Luke Jensen, bounty hunter, fan you will enjoy this action-packed western novel.
Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Shotokan Karate Self-Defense Techniques: Combat karate for the street).

- Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2022A good read with plenty of action. Luke, a bounty hunter with a quick gun and knife has a high moral code.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2024When Bounty Hunter Luke Jensen learns about the bounty on Three Fingered Jack McKinney, his mind was already ringing up dollars. But Luke learns that sometimes there is more to the life of an owlhoot than than the money to be gained. There are also innocent lives involved and the memories of the family. Top notch book.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2021A missing father turns outlaw chief and the Bounty Hunter wants to know why. With the help of the youngest of two sons he enters the lair of a famous outlaw, spoils a raid on a gold cache, and finally brings the gang to frontier justice. Fascinating tale with plenty of twists and turns. Well worth the time.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2019!Luke Jensen bounty hunter on the the 👣trail hunting "Three Fingers McKinley" and his gang wanted for robberies. He abandoned his wife and sons for the life of an OUTLAW.
That's how life was in the West. The son Thad it a bounty on his father for "one dollar and forty -two cents for any information concerning his father whereabouts. Pretty cheap...right? That's what anger can lead to, no one likes to be rejected!
This interesting adventure, has a lot of humanity going around and examples of how boys react when their father deserted the family without any means of support or stability. Very sad, but you'd be surprised at the stamina people exhibit when life hands them the sticky of the stick. Sometimes all you see is the dust in the wind as they hit the trail of no return..ouch
- Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2022Pretty good story about Luke Jensen, bounty hunter, and his adventures with outlaws and also apache. Would recommend another Jensen story.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2022A great western about one of the Jensen men that tells a tale of an outlaw and the good of a bounty hunter.
