Billy the Kid #37

When Governor Wallace tasks Billy the Kid with a dangerous undercover mission to stop a mysterious outlaw called "the Hawk" from selling stolen Army guns to Apache warriors, Billy must infiltrate the criminal's operation at Fort Riley. Posing as a gunman on the run, Billy allies with a horse trader connected to the gang and discovers evidence of their gun-smuggling scheme—but the real challenge is identifying which soldier at the fort is feeding secrets to the Hawk. With Apache raids growing fiercer and the territory on the brink of chaos, Billy races to uncover the spy before the conspiracy claims more lives.

Billy the Kid must get a wagon train carrying vital supplies and ammunition through to Fort Lincoln—but the Yaqui drums beating in the hills signal the tribe is on the warpath, and the frightened townsmen refuse to go. Forced to recruit a rough crew of jailed hardcases and lead them himself into Indian territory, Billy faces mutiny, ambush, and overwhelming odds to prevent a territorial war. When capture seems certain, an unexpected debt comes due in a way that changes everything.

Young Billy the Kid arrives at the Rocking R Ranch and finds a home with its owner, Sam Jackson, who takes him on as a son—but when Billy displays a natural talent with a gun, Sam fears the boy will be drawn into a life of violence. When a ruthless rustler named Monk Tatum escalates his feud with Sam, Billy must decide whether to use the skills that come so naturally to him, even as those closest to him try to keep him from that path.
