The Last Hanging In Scots Bend

Peace. In the aftermath of the Civil War, everyone said they wanted peace, but in Scots Bend, a century old conflict between two families reignites and intensifies to a brutal climax just before the turn of the century. Stash Harris avenges the deaths of his mother and father by the brutal murder of two men. His sentence is death by hanging. Leland Cason, Stash Harris' uncle and the sheriff, fights to maintain order and protect his family. He is responsible for hanging his nephew. The matriarch of the Greers, Julia, plots the demise of the Cason family and anyone who aligns with them. The Last Hanging in Scots Bend is a classic tale of rivalry, greed, mystery, jealousy, and murder. Beyond that, it is an examination of the randomness of fate, man's place in the natural world, and Christian dogma from the perspective of common men. At its core, The Last Hanging in Scots Bend is every thinking man's tale."
