Kalkkarokäärme by Kurt Lange
"Kalkkarokäärme" by Kurt Lange is a fictional narrative likely written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the American Southwest, specifically Arizona, and follows the main character, Dennis Muley, who is a foreigner drawn into the dangerous underbelly of poker and deceit. As he seeks work as a bouncer in a seedy establishment, he is unwittingly embroiled in a deadly scheme involving venomous snakes and organized crime. The opening
of the book introduces Muley as he navigates the streets of Phoenix, dressing as a cowboy and looking to find a certain Mr. Folson, the owner of the property he seeks to work at. He quickly finds himself in a perilous situation involving a deadly snake bite and confrontations with unsavory characters in a poker den. Just as Muley faces certain doom, he is discovered to be entwined in a larger drama involving criminals and deceit, setting the stage for a tense adventure filled with psychological twists as he grapples with danger and the shadowy motivations of those around him.
