Truth is a Long Ride: Why Frank F. Fiore’s Cowboy Sleuth Doesn’t Settle for Easy Answers

In the old West, justice was often swift—and brutal.But in Jonathan Smyth Cowboy Sleuth: The Case of the Screaming Tunnel, Frank F. Fiore reminds us that real justice takes time. It takes patience, persistence, and an unwavering commitment to the truth—even when the truth doesn’t offer comfort.

Jonathan Smyth isn’t looking for closure.He’s looking for honesty—and he’s willing to ride a long, lonely road to find it.

A Detective Who Moves Slow—But Never Stops

Where other heroes charge in, Smyth hangs back.He walks through towns where people lie with smiles. He listens longer than anyone else. And when others settle for a convenient story, Smyth asks one more question—the one no one wants to answer.

That’s what makes him dangerous.And that’s what makes him necessary.

Frank F. Fiore writes him not as a showy gunslinger, but as a methodical force—a man who carries questions like others carry weapons.

The Screaming Tunnel Isn’t Just a Case—It’s a Wall of Denial

In this town, fear has a name: the tunnel.But Smyth knows the legend isn’t what matters. It’s who created it, who protects it, and what they’re willing to bury to keep it alive.

As he pieces together the truth, Smyth doesn’t find a single villain.He finds a town full of people who’ve made peace with the wrong story—because facing the truth would mean facing themselves.
