Lynchtown Wolf

Lynchtown Wolf raises the stakes in a game of deception versus truth.
The year is 1923. In Fort Smith, Arkansas, a raucous western town with a history of outlaws, marshals, hangings, and prostitution, Roy Kemp Ulric, the city's District Attorney, is on trial for a crime he committed. A guilty verdict means time in federal prison and jeopardizes everything he's built- his career, marriage, and a stash of blackmail money. Wulf, a scoundrel with few scruples who served as Mr. Ulric's accomplice in the crime, is ready to reveal the attorney for the wolf he is, but both his health and business are failing at a rapid rate. Daniella Cordero, formerly known as the prostitute Gypsy, is a key witness for the prosecution, but she fears that her testimony may cause her to lose her best friend, Robert Callum, if he discovers the truth about her past.
Can Mr. Ulric convince the jury of his innocence and hide his sins from his wife, or will everyone discover the liar and criminal he is? Will Wulf die before he's put on the witness stand, or will he at last get his vengeance on Mr. Ulric? Without Robert's father, Henry, to protect her from the wolves, does Daniella stand to lose more than just Robert's friendship?
Lynchtown Wolf is the second novel in The River Series. It follows Bordertown Gypsy and precedes Mobtown Player and Rivertown Crooner.
