Slocum’s got just enough rope to hang himself…or someone else.

With buzzards circling in the sky, young Tom Garvin hopes his search for the lost cattle of the Bar M Ranch has not ended in vain. It turns out the carrion those birds are after isn’t cows but the body of a man hanging from a dying tree with a very mysterious black rope around his neck.
 
Impressed by the rope, Garvin decides to take it—along with the dead man’s beautiful horse—back to the ranch where he works with John Slocum. And the two of them are about to learn that this is one rope they don’t want to be at the end of…

Top review from the United States

Jerry Guild
5.0 out of 5 stars "Nobody's hangin' him.That's not the way the law works.First we try him,then we hang him."
Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2012
Slocum has been working on the Bar M Ranch for over a year.That's a lot of time for him to stay in one place,but he was enjoying ranch life and he was thinking of making things permanent with the owner's lovely daughter,Christine.A couple of things changed all that .A young lad ,Tom Garvin,with no skills also works on the ranch.He has found a body stripped and hanging from a tree.The man had been hung with a very expensive rope.It had been made from some material he hadn't recognized,maybe just hemp turned black from old age,but it carried silver threads throughout that made it distinctive.Garvin lowers the body and buries it but retains the rope ,which he soon comes to realize has magical properties.Kind of reminds me of that great TV series a few years back "Dead Man's Gun".Another thing that changes things is that a gunslinger from the past,Pendergast,has been hunting Slocum and is intent on killing him.This all leads to a lot of excitement,including a cattle stampede bank robbery,gunfights,Slocum's capture and beating,a raging storm and Tom being swept away in a raging river the magic rope,the loving daughter,Slocum's hunter with a rattler's tail on his hat;,and just about everything but Indians,Trains and Grizzley bears,makes this one heck of a great read.In the end,the only thing left unanswered is ,what happened to the magic rope and will it turn up again like the "Dead Man's Gun'.
