The Billy Tree series is a two-book crime fiction duology by David Wiltse. Heartland (2001) and The Hangman’s Knot (2002) follow Billy Tree through stories that blend crime with the tensions and secrets of small-town American life.

The duology offers a different tone from the serial-killer intensity of the John Becker books, trading FBI investigations for a more grounded, rural setting.
