Cheyenne Kid #57

When Sergeant Clegg assaults Redhawk and his wife Lightfoot at Fort Tarrant during peace negotiations between the Comanches and the Army, the Cheyenne Kid steps in—but Clegg and his partner Coyo see an opportunity to frame the warrior for arson and sabotage the tribe's hard-won reservation treaty. Now the Cheyenne Kid must track down his bloodbrother before false accusations destroy everything the Comanches have fought for, all while navigating the dangerous terrain between duty to his friend and duty to the law.

The Cheyenne Kid's six months of hard-earned army pay vanishes in minutes when three dangerous gunslingers—led by the ruthless Cash Clay—rob the Melville bank right after he deposits it. Nursing a useless right hand from a previous fight, the Cheyenne Kid pursues the thieves across the Rio Grande into Mexico, where they're confident he's no match for them. What unfolds is a tense showdown in a border cantina where the Kid must rely on cunning and grit to recover what's his and bring the outlaws to justice.

Isaac C. Parker arrived in the frontier as a young lawyer determined to bring order to the lawless territories, and by securing an appointment to the Fort Smith Court, he assembled a ruthless team to enforce his brand of swift frontier justice across Arkansas and Indian Territory. Over his 21 years on the bench, Parker earned his notorious reputation through sheer force of will and machinery—his gallows could execute six men at once, his deputies worked on bounty, and his courtroom operated relentlessly to try thousands of cases and convict thousands more. This is the story of how one unbending judge, love him or hate him, transformed a wild frontier into a place where the law finally had teeth.

When a letter from an old friend brings the Cheyenne Kid to Arizona to help a retired cavalry captain fend off Apache rustlers, he finds himself caught between a cunning war chief and a band of raiders who won't rest until he's dead. Pursued relentlessly by Chief Victorio's warriors across treacherous terrain, the Cheyenne Kid must use his wits and survival skills to stay alive long enough to turn the tables on his hunters. It's a desperate game of cat and mouse on the frontier, where one misstep could be his last.
