Wild River Massacre

A Sam Benbow Western Mystery

By: Jack Curtis

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A frontier town is slaughtered. The authorities look the other way. One lawman refuses to.

When a remote settlement along the Wild River is wiped out in a single night of bloodshed, the killings are quietly buried and the trail goes cold. Witnesses disappear. Evidence vanishes. And the men responsible expect the massacre to be forgotten.

Sam Benbow is a lawman who doesn’t forget—and doesn’t walk away. Sent to investigate what others want left alone, Benbow uncovers a web of lies, intimidation, and violence that reaches far beyond the ruined town. The deeper he digs, the clearer it becomes: powerful men are protecting a deadly secret.

Outnumbered and hunted across hostile country, Benbow must rely on his badge, his nerve, and his gun to bring the truth into the open. Because in the Old West, justice only survives when someone is willing to enforce it.

A fast-paced Western mystery featuring a tough frontier lawman, a complete stand-alone case, and the first instalment in the Sam Benbow series—ideal for Kindle Unlimited readers who want grit, action, and satisfying endings.

***This book contains a complete mystery with no cliffhanger.***
