The Last Close Shave: A Frontier Mystery

By R Biscuit

A whispered confession. A brutal murder. And a barber who knows too much...

In the bustling frontier settlement of Mercy Crossing, ageing barber Dalton has honed a quiet trade: listening. His customers, mistaking discretion for agreement, leave him with fragments of private knowledge he never sought to keep. But when prosperous lender Amos Bell confides he means to 'bury a living woman', Dalton is left grappling with a chilling ambiguity - is this a literal threat, a dark secret, or something far more sinister?

Before Dalton can uncover the truth, Amos is found murdered, a broken comb clutched in his dead hand. Now, Dalton must navigate the treacherous waters of small-town secrets, deciding which confidences remain sacred and which have become a shield for harm. The town's celebrated generosity, woven through its relief committee, bank, and school fundraisers, begins to unravel, revealing its true, darker cost. If you love a meticulously crafted mystery where every clue counts and the stakes are deeply human, you'll be captivated by Dalton's journey.
