Just barely escaping a posse’s rope, the twins are on the run—wounded, hounded by the law, and desperately seeking the true killers…

Grace's Review

The Shadow of a Noose

This was a good western. I felt that Compton did a good job of sticking to the same momentum of his first book, “Death Rides a Chestnut Mare.” I liked the character’s and the plot. It is a very mindless book that I found fun to read.
