A Rope for Doc Holliday
(2026)(The ninth book in the Gunfighter & The Gambler - Doc Holliday series)
A novel by Wyatt Steele
They framed the wrong man. Now a whole town wants to see Doc Holliday hang.
After a murder aboard a luxury train, Doc Holliday has had enough of railroads, locked rooms and respectable strangers with secrets. He and Nash ride west again, grateful for open country, honest horses and the promise of leaving trouble behind.Then Doc finds a faro table.
In the isolated town of Morrow Bend, a bitter gambler named Gideon Dade publicly accuses Doc of ruining his brother years earlier. Doc does what Doc does best: he sits down, plays the man clean, takes his money and leaves him humiliated before a crowded saloon.
By morning, Gideon Dade is dead in an alley.
The murder weapon is Doc’s own pistol.
With witnesses eager to repeat the quarrel and a rope already waiting beneath the town’s cottonwood tree, Doc becomes the perfect killer in the eyes of Morrow Bend. Injured, jailed and out of time, even his famous quick draw cannot save him from a hanging arranged by men who know exactly how useful his reputation can be.
Only Nash sees the truth. Dade was carrying evidence powerful enough to destroy the man who owns Morrow Bend, and someone is willing to kill anyone who can prove it.
As the town turns into a mob and the law folds beneath money and fear, Nash must pull Doc out of the noose before sunrise—and Doc must decide whether to ride away alive or return for the people who risked everything to clear his name.
A Rope for Doc Holliday is a gritty, action-packed western of murder, betrayal and frontier justice, featuring the deadly partnership of Doc Holliday and the silent gunfighter.
Perfect for readers who enjoy hard-riding western adventures, sharp dialogue, corrupt towns, deadly gamblers and heroes who never leave a reckoning unfinished.
