An innocent man was going to hang at sundown, for a murder he didn’t commit. But not if Shane Preston and Jonah Jones could help it!
Who could have possibly wanted to kill Jacob King? The rancher was universally admired, and had done great work for the town of Destiny Creek and its people. So he hated him enough to put three bullets in his back?
The town had made up its mind to Luke Wainwright’s guilt. The trial was a sham, and the hanging was set for just twenty-four hours’ time.
There wasn’t much Jonah could do to help – he was in a sick-bed, recovering from a gunshot wound. So everything hinged on Shane being able to expose the guilty party in time to prevent the hanging.
Then the unthinkable happened.
Shane himself got shot – twice.
And all of a sudden, Luke Wainwright was facing the hangman’s noose alone.
Roger Norris-Green was born in Brighton, UK and emigrated with his parents to Australia when he was a schoolboy. Since leaving Unley High School in South Australia, he has written 140 published westerns under 6 pen names, plus 2 under his own name.
Roger had his first western ‘Apache Crossing’ accepted by the Cleveland Publishing Company when he was a young man in his early 20s, just married, living in the Adelaide Hills. The pen name he used for his very first western was Cole Shelton. He went on to write his ‘Shane and Jonah’ series under that pen name. Many of his westerns have received ‘Best Western of the Month’ awards. Roger lives with his wife Elaine in Moonta Bay, South Australia. Although retired, he is still writing.
