Cowboy Meets Case File: How Frank F. Fiore Blends Tradition and Tension in Every Page

In the Wild West, justice used to come with a bullet.In Frank F. Fiore’s world, it comes with a case file, a deep breath, and a quiet detective in a cowboy hat.

With Jonathan Smyth Cowboy Sleuth: The Case of the Screaming Tunnel, Fiore has created something incredibly rare: a Western that reads like a noir mystery, unfolds like a true-crime drama, and feels like it matters.

And the more readers dig in, the more they realize—this isn’t just a story. It’s the beginning of a legacy.

A World That Breathes Dust and Doubt

Fiore’s West is gritty, yes—but it’s also smart, subtle, and emotionally rich.Every town Jonathan Smyth visits feels like a place lost to time—haunted not just by ghosts, but by regret, secrets, and collective silence.

Smyth walks through these landscapes not as a hero—but as a witness. A seeker of truth in places where truth has been drowned in folklore, lies, and fear.

And as Fiore guides readers deeper into each town, the question shifts from “who did it?” to “why won’t anyone talk about it?”

More Than a Mystery—It’s a Slow Burn of Suspicion

What makes this series special is the tension.

Frank doesn’t rely on explosions or over-the-top action. Instead, the suspense comes from:

• The nervous glance between townsfolk

• The legend everyone swears isn’t real

• The evidence that keeps disappearing

• The way Smyth just won’t back down—even when he’s alone in it

It’s patient, intelligent storytelling that rewards careful readers and pulls you in without needing to shout.
