SADDLE UP FOR A
HARD RIDE WITH THE HALF-BREED DRIFTER, YAKIMA HENRY, IN A BRAND-NEW FOUR-PART
SERIES...BLOODY ARIZONA!
Part 3:
CHIRICAHUA BLUES
The town marshal
of Apache Springs, Arizona Territory—Yakima Henry--has his hands full. Not only
has the iron horse arrived in a storm of frenzied hoopla, bringing more crime
along with it to the boomtown Apache Springs, but Emma Kosgrove’s secret canyon
has been discovered.
One of the two
young Southern brothers who stumbled into the canyon is dead, but it’s unclear
how he died or who killed him. The other brother was so traumatized by whatever
happened to the other brother that he can’t speak, just walks around in a daze,
muttering the single word, “Snake,” over and over again...
“Snake...snake...”
Yakima’s senior
deputy, the Rio Grande Kid, has his own hands full of more trouble than he
thought possible when he pinned the star on his shirt. Yakima sends “the Kid”
to Tucson to fetch the murdering rapist, Darl Deakin, and bring him by
stagecoach to Apache Springs for trial.
What neither
Yakima nor the Kid knew going in, however, was that Deakin has a passel of
piss-burned Chiricahua Apaches lead by the formidable war chief Matiotish hot
on his trail, intending to exact revenge on Deakin for selling their people
diseased beef and causing many young and old Chiricahuas to die.
The Kid’s stage
is run into a remote canyon, and now the Kid must fight off the Apaches to save
his own hide as well as that of his undeserving prisoner, the hides of several
innocent passengers, including an old woman, the old woman’s grandson, and a
fetching young doxie named Jackie.
