About the book
Joe Noose hunts down the first known serial killer on the American frontier—in this trailblazing thriller from acclaimed author Eric Red . . .
SCARRED FOR LIFE
A new kind of evil has come to the Old West. A killer as cold and hard as the Wyoming winter. He wanders from town to town. Slaughters entire families along the way. With grotesque glee, he brands the letter Q in his victims’ flesh. Joe Noose knows the killer’s identity. He recognizes the killer’s brand. He bears the same scar from his childhood—and he’s determined to stop this madman once and for all. Two U.S. marshals have agreed to help Joe. But they’ve never hunted a killer like this before. A sadist who kills for pleasure—and scars you for life . . .

—Roundup Magazine on Hanging Fire
“Exceptionally fast-paced and blood-spattered. Full of action, overflowing with defiant characters and deadly gunplay.”—Lansing State Journal on Noose
