Mystery Historical
Railroad bull Hook Runyon and his dog, Mixer, are chasing
persistent pickpockets on the Santa Fe line when Hook is
called to investigate a malfunctioning wigwag signal in the
middle of nowhere. A young man has been strung up there,
hung from the signal, and left strangled to death. Hook
finds no identification on the body, other than a bronze
hero's medal around the corpse's neck, with the name Samuel Ash engraved on it. Refusing to bury what seems to
be a World War II hero in a pauper's grave, Hook vows to
find the dead boy's family, as well as his killer. With the casket in tow, and slowed down by an over-educated
sidekick, Junior Monroe, and a stream of new tasks from the
head of division, Hook finally finds his way to Carmen,
Oklahoma. But no one there has ever heard of anyone named
Samuel Ash. There are secrets in Carmen, most of them
associated with the local orphanage and its disliked
director, and Hook is determined to get to the bottom of
the mystery of the hanging of Samuel Ash. Vivid characterizations, searing descriptions, and a twisty
plot make Sheldon Russell's THE HANGING OF SAMUEL ASH a
gripping read.
