A rope for Scudder

the long version

Jake Scudder hauled Hank Lassiter from the jaws of death three times in twenty-four hours. However not everyone was convinced of Scudder's worth. Within a couple of days he had been found guilty of murder and sentenced to death. That was how Jake found himself locked up in a caboose en route to the penitentiary where a rope awaited him. Then fate took a hand and stirred things up. Scudder was given a chance for redemption, but it meant he would have to rescue the woman who wanted him dead and discover who had set him up. Whoever it was had much to answer for.
