Spur #29
Plains Paramour
When Spur rode into Quintoch, Kansas, he was the town's last hope to stop a vicious killer whose victims were found hanged, some just feet away from their homes. The only clue the sheriff had was that the dead men had all been members of the same Union regiment during the Civil War. Spur longed to give the hangman a taste of lead, but a sexy suffragette with some very liberated ideas kept him so busy in the bedroom that he hardly had a chance to track him down. When Spur finally thought he was on the right trail, he discovered a new problem: the closer he came to nailing the killer, the closer he came to finding himself at the end of a rope.
