Aprašymas

Seventh in the Tales of the Old Wild West series by prolific western author Doyle Trent.
In the tradition of the John Wayne classic western films and legendary television series of Gunsmoke and Bonanza.

The Wild West. If the elements, rattlers, coyotes, and Indian's didn't kill you...the person sitting next to you in the saloon just might...just for the hell of it. This series is presented as self-contained standalone story novels that do not have to be read in any particular order. It gives readers an entertaining glimpse into what individuals from all walks of life encountered as they traversed the untamed western landscape seeking fortune, glory, a new start, or keeping one step ahead of the law behind them.

HANGMAN'S NOOSE

The townfolk of Fortune were getting damn tired of the gang of killers that was terrorizing the South Park country of Colorado, and when Scott Wheeler got shot in the back in a dark alley one night, they wanted blood. Someone had to hang, and the evidence pointed to Civil War veteran Tom Shannon who was homesteading just outside of town.

But Tom had other plans. He hadn't survived a war just to get strung up for a crime he didn't commit. Some bloodthirsty gunslick in the killer gang had bushwhacked poor old Scott, and to prove it and clear his name, Tom Shannon planned on setting a trap...a trap that was like bloody Shiloh all over again, right inside the town, in the shadow of the gallows.
