Rocky Lane Western #2

In "The Bloody Gap Plot," Rocky Lane rides into a town plagued by outlaws and suspicion, where a gang’s latest heist raises more questions than answers. As he closes in on the culprits, a growing sense of unease shadows his victory—someone is watching, and the real threat may be far more personal than the lawless surface suggests.

In "The Hand of Death," Rocky Lane investigates the murder of Larrimore Kendall, a beloved philanthropist honored by the town of Dusty Canyon, after a dinner turns deadly. With the trail gone cold, Rocky uncovers a web of past crimes when he finds documents linking ranchers Bill Messmore and Clayton to a long-ago bank robbery—and to Kendall’s blackmail scheme. The deeper Rocky digs, the more he realizes that old debts may have finally come due.

In "The Chief's Blunder," Doc Williams faces a heartfelt farewell when the townspeople craft a humorous "Wanted" poster to honor his retirement—only for a cunning stage driver to exploit the joke, forging a real bounty and tricking the Chief Marshal into paying up. Rocky Lane sets off to track down the conman, now disguised as an Indian, as the line between prank and peril blurs in the dusty frontier.
