Martell's Rope

By James Dargan

MARTELL'S ROPE - A Florian Van Rensenbrink Mystery

St. Charles, Missouri. 1840s.

A death at the edge of town appears unremarkable.
Then another follows.

The similarities cannot be ignored.

Florian Van Rensenbrink is brought in to examine the cases, arriving in a river town shaped by movement and transience. What first appears unrelated begins to suggest a pattern that extends beyond a single location.

As he traces connections through taverns, roads, and working yards, the investigation reveals a structure built on timing and repetition.

The town offers explanations, but they fail to account for the details that matter most.

Martell's Rope is an historical mystery focused on pattern recognition, pursuit, and the hidden connections within a changing frontier landscape.
