Singing Creek

Award winning author James Duermeyer continues the saga of lawman Nathan Wolf in this exciting story of the old West. His story is set in the period following reconstruction in America’s history, when former Southern slaves migrated to Kansas to pursue the dream of owning their own land. But the reputation of “bloody Kansas” was still alive, with disreputable outlaws creating evil havoc in this gripping novel of the old West.


Nathan Wolf has moved from Iowa to southeast Kansas to become a U.S. Marshal and marry the beautiful and indomitable Claire May.  Barely into the job, Marshal Wolf is confronted with multiple crimes. Are they connected? Cattle rustling, extortion, bank robbery, and a twenty-year-old cold case murder of two black settlers keep Wolf and the reader guessing. As if that was not enough to hand to the lawman, a kidnapping is thrown into the mix for good measure. Wolf, a lawman of strong character, investigative skills, and intuition, must dig to the bottom of the crimes while narrowly escaping the attempts on his life and the lives of his new wife and family at the hands of a ruthless gang.


Singing Creek is the second book in the Nathan Wolf series, following Trail of the Outlaw.
