Jack The Roper

by Steven Leroy Nelson

Overview

1950s private sleuth, Axel Hatchett, is looking forward to a relaxing, belated, honey-moon in the high lonesome at a dude ranch. But before it can start, Axe tries to solve the disappearance of a purloined bunny, ending up with a cracked skull, and it's not the rabbit's! When he and Tracy finally arrive at the dude ranch, Axe expects nothing worse than bad beans and bucking broncos. Instead, bullets and a hangman's noose await the newlyweds.
