FREE: NEW book! "The hanging of Samuel Ash" by Sheldon Russell

The listing, NEW book! "The hanging of Samuel Ash" by Sheldon Russell has ended.

Like many in war-weary New Mexico, rail yard detective Hook Runyon is fed up with being told to do the impossible with nothing. He's been burdened with a hapless rich-boy trainee, the railroad workers are on strike, and he's three steps behind an elusive ring of pickpockets. So when he finds a young man hanging from a train crossing light, Hook is tempted to dismiss him as one more nameless hobo who gave up.

Still, nothing about this sits right, from the Bronze Star around the victim's neck to his complete lack of identification. But uncovering the truth will pit the one-armed yard dog up against worse than a mean small-town cop or angry railroad strikers. And when no one's word can be trusted and every clue is a trap, Hook must stop a runaway train of deceit and death that could take him into a dark tunnel from which he never escapes…
