He Doesn’t Hunt People—He Hunts Truth: The Precision of Frank F. Fiore’s Cowboy Sleuth

The Wild West was never just about outlaws and saloons.It was about silence. Secrets. And the space between what’s said and what’s left behind.

That’s where Jonathan Smyth lives.

In The Case of the Screaming Tunnel, author Frank F. Fiore doesn’t give us a hero who rides in with bravado. He gives us a man who knows exactly what to look for—and just how dangerous the truth can be.

Smyth isn’t hunting suspects.He’s hunting what’s real in a place built on legend and fear.

A Mind Like a Scalpel

Smyth doesn’t charge into a case.He dissects it—quietly, methodically, relentlessly.

Frank F. Fiore created a character who never guesses, never rushes, never reacts out of emotion. Smyth’s logic is surgical. He cuts past the stories people cling to. He waits for cracks to appear in the lies. And when they do, he pulls hard.

In a town that blames a ghost, Smyth looks at:

• Timelines

• Motives

• Gaps in memory

• Eyes that dart a little too fast

• Stories that come a little too easy

He doesn’t solve the case by being louder. He solves it by being right.

The Legend is the Cover—The Truth is the Crime

The town of the Screaming Tunnel has held on to its myth for years.It’s comforting. It’s explainable.But it’s not justice.

Fiore uses this legend as a mask—and Smyth’s job is to tear it off.

Because Smyth knows:The louder the legend, the more someone has to hide behind it.

And the longer a story like that survives, the more blood is buried under its roots.

This isn’t about good guys vs. bad guys.It’s about what happens when someone sees clearly—and decides not to look away.

That kind of clarity? It’s dangerous.And Fiore leans into it with every line.

Conclusion: He’s Not the Hero They Want—He’s the One Who Won’t Be Lied To

Jonathan Smyth isn’t saving the day.He’s unearthing it.He’s bringing it out of the tunnel and into the light—whether the town is ready or not.

Frank F. Fiore’s cowboy detective isn’t flashy, and he’s not popular.But he’s the only one asking the right questions.
