Every Second Friday is adapted from the 1980 screenplay Indian, Lawyer, Merchant Thief, originally written by R. M. Webb for actor James Arness. Forty-six years later, this powerful and poignant story comes to life. Inspired by real events in Oregon’s Klamath Basin, this fast-moving, emotionally charged story builds toward a reckoning no one sees coming. It’s a gripping, high stakes ride from beginning to end, a true page turner built for readers who crave suspense!
Every second Friday, the checks arrived.
To the government, they are restitution. To the Klamath people, they are a monthly reminder of everything that had been taken—and everything justice failed to restore.
Lucas watched the timber industry that built his community vanish, leaving good men without mills, livelihoods, or futures while politicians, merchants, and powerbrokers profit from the ruins.
Garth carries an even deeper the loss of his land, his people’s wealth, and his father—the Chief who tried to protect them all.
Bound by grief and united by purpose, Garth and Lucas form an unlikely relationship and began planning the impossible with a small group of the few people they trust.
On March 29, 1974, in broad daylight their plan erupts into motion with a precision so bold it leaves the powerful stunned, the authorities scrambling, and an entire community asking the same was it a crime—or long-overdue justice? These men aren’t heroes, they are the quiet answer to decades of extortion, a reminder that justice has a way of exposing those who believe themselves untouchable.
Every Second Friday is a gripping story of friendship, betrayal, revenge, and two men determined to reclaim what was stolen from their people—no matter the cost. And when the dust settled, one truth lingered in the air like a those who bear the weight, deliver the reckoning.
