Enter the Goodreads giveaway for Johnny Mime by Sean McDevitt, a gripping tale of frontier justice and buried secrets set in the silver-streaked shadows of 1884 Calico. Arthur O’Keefe arrives in town with a suitcase full of snake oil and a performer’s charm, hoping to make a quick buck. But Calico isn’t just another boomtown; it’s a place ruled by fear, under the watchful eye of its blind but omniscient mayor, Smeaton. When townsfolk start dying in ways that look like accidents but feel like warnings, Arthur teams up with a prospector and a courtesan to uncover the truth.
What they find is a conspiracy more lethal than any outlaw, and more deeply rooted than the richest silver vein. Based on real events and characters from the legendary mining town, Johnny Mime is a sweeping, slow-burning western that took over three decades to craft, a story of vengeance, resilience, and the unyielding spirit of the American West.
