Wire to Perdition

A Classic Western Adventure

A classic western novel from Frank Wheeler with non-stop epic adventure and a blend of western romance

Simon Tripp keeps the mountain wires alive and the world at arm’s length.
But one mistake during the war sent the wrong men to die, and the guilt has lived with him ever since.
Since then he’s lived alone at a high-country telegraph station, fixing wire, cooking for one, and trying not to think about the past.

When Ronni Gamble appears at his door during a rainstorm, Simon goes against his better judgment and lets her in.

It’s one small act of mercy that changes everything.

She’s running from Dodge Masters, a federal marshal who bends the law until it breaks. Everyone thinks he’s a hero, except for her. And she’s carrying the proof that could ruin him.

But Masters isn’t the only one closing in.
Tobias Jackman—TJ—was Simon’s best friend once.
His brother died because of Simon’s mistake, and he’s been waiting years to settle the score.

Their three paths collide in the mountains, bound by guilt and survival.
To save Ronni, Simon will have to face both the lawman chasing her and the friend who wants him dead, and decide whether atonement is worth dying for.
How far can guilt drive a man before it breaks him?

Each novel in the series is a standalone western which can be read out of order.
