The Carson Stone series marks Victor Gischler’s entry into Western fiction. Dead Man’s Trail (2022) introduces Carson Stone in the rough territory of the American West after the Civil War, and A Short Rope for a Tall Man (2023) continues his story.
These books show a different side of Gischler from his crime novels and comics work. The Western setting gives him room for the kind of tough, fast-moving storytelling he favors, just with horses instead of sports cars.
