By the Neck [sound recording] : / by Johnstone, William W.,author.(CARDINAL)339749;
Read by Jack Garrett.Rollie Finnegan is a man of few words.

Over the years, he's locked up plenty of killers. Now he's ready to make a killing--for himself...There's gold in the mountains of Idaho Territory. And the town of Boar Gulch is a golden opportunity for a tough guy like Finnegan. But when he arrives, the local saloon owner is gunned down in cold blood--and Finnegan makes a cold calculation of his own. Instead of working in a mine, he'll buy the saloon. Instead of gold, he'll mine the miners. And instead of getting dirty, he'll clean up this grimy little boomtown once and for all--with his own brand of Stoneface justice.

The most unusual part of the book is that concerning Allan Pinkerton's Civil War record as an intelligence officer.
