Ringo #2

In "The Hill of Death," Sid Bicking finds himself drawn into a mystery when his friend Jarvis Garret seeks help from the Mexican villagers to build a dam—only to be met with fear of the nearby hills. When two villagers flee after claiming to see a spirit of death, Sid refuses to believe the tales and ventures into the hills himself, uncovering a dangerous secret tied to stolen gold and a conspiracy that reaches into the town’s leadership.

Syd Bicking rides into a town too still to be natural, where silence hangs like dust in the air. What starts as a quiet passage quickly unravels into a web of betrayal, as Syd uncovers Joe Renzo’s plan to seize Federal Judge James Dixon—before justice can catch up with his brother Tom.

In the dusty frontier town of Ringo #2, Syd takes it upon himself to find a young Indian boy after witnessing John Hubbard shoot him, only to see the truth buried when witnesses vanish and Hubbard walks free. As Syd digs deeper, he uncovers a web of deception tied to Hubbard’s brother and a dangerous scheme to free him through lies, with the town’s sheriff and even the local priest caught in the crossfire.

In the dusty heart of the frontier, Syd Bicking crosses paths with the enigmatic Kim, whose sharp eyes and sharper tongue set off a chain of events in the lawless town of Crossing. When Kim accuses Lou Harrison of cheating—driven by a past tied to her father’s death—Ringo steps in, only to see her vanish into the desert, leaving behind a trail of danger and deception. As secrets unravel and real threats emerge, Syd must navigate a web of lies where loyalty is tested and the truth is harder to find than a water hole.
