Noose Fever - a wild west adventure thriller
NOOSE FEVER: A Dead Man Tells No Tales
A dead man tells no tales.
But when four men end up swinging from a tree, someone is trying to send a message.
Rip Campbell rides into town with dust on his coat and a simple promise of honest work. A short job. Easy money. The kind of job a seasoned drifter and gunman doesn’t ask questions about.
Only the man who hired him is already dead—hanging from a cottonwood on the edge of town, his boots twisting in the wind.
He’s not the first.
And he won’t be the last.
As fear tightens its grip on the town, Rip discovers the hangings aren’t random acts of frontier justice. They’re deliberate. Personal. Someone is settling old scores, and every corpse is a clue written in rope and silence.
The sheriff is useless.
The townsfolk are terrified.
And everyone has something to hide.
Digging into the past, Rip uncovers a buried trail of lies involving stolen land, bad blood, and a secret that powerful men would kill to keep buried. With every question he asks, the circle tightens. With every truth he uncovers, another body swings.
If Rip can’t figure out who is doing the hanging—and why, he won’t get a warning.
He’ll get a noose.
