The Cowboy Detective We Didn't Know We Needed: Frank F. Fiore’s Brilliant Genre Crossover

The American cowboy has always symbolized independence, grit, and a certain brand of frontier justice.The detective? Precision, intellect, and moral complexity.In Jonathan Smyth Cowboy Sleuth: The Case of the Screaming Tunnel, Frank F. Fiore masterfully merges the two—and the result is one of the most refreshing, unforgettable characters to ride onto the scene in years.

Jonathan Smyth isn't just a cowboy. He's a truth seeker. A quiet observer. A reluctant hero in a world built on superstition and silence.

Breaking the Mold, One Case at a Time

Frank F. Fiore didn't want to write another cowboy story—or another detective story.He wanted to create a new kind of Western hero, one who fits into the dust and danger of the frontier while carrying the analytical mind and patient persistence of a modern investigator.

The result? A hero who:

• Walks into ghost towns where others fear to tread

• Asks the questions no one else dares to voice

• Understands that the most dangerous enemy isn’t the outlaw—it’s the secret no one wants uncovered

The Genius Behind the Setting: When the West Turns Eerie

The Case of the Screaming Tunnel isn't just about solving a murder. It's about confronting a town's collective fear.Frank F. Fiore uses setting as character:

• Tunnels that breathe with the past

• Towns that whisper through closed doors

• Legends that feel as real—and dangerous—as any six-shooter

By placing Smyth in locations dripping with folklore and superstition, Fiore creates an atmosphere thick with dread—and possibility.
