Return of the Outlaw #2

When Billy the Kid stops for a drink at a lonely river, he stumbles onto something that doesn't add up—a supposedly dead killer named Bart Stanton, and a deputy with a suspicious claim to a fresh reward. Using a shirt as his only real lead, Billy sets a clever trap to uncover the truth and forces a confrontation that takes him straight to the heart of the scheme. It's a tight tale of quick thinking and quicker fists in the Old West, where nothing is quite what it seems.

Billy the Kid stumbles into a web of deception when he tries to help a young traveler named Ricky reach his father's ranch—only to discover that someone's been masquerading as the real owner to force a valuable claim. Trapped in a gold mine alongside the genuine John Farrell and his son, Billy must rely on quick wits and a stolen gun to turn the tables on Duke Williams and his gang before the impostor's scheme becomes permanent.

Billy the Kid finds himself caught between a lawman's promise and an innocent man's fate when Dan Magee's sister Nancy appeals to him for help—her brother has been condemned to hang for a bank robbery he didn't commit, caught red-handed by circumstance rather than crime. With time running out before sunrise and the real culprits already sentenced, Billy must figure out how to save Dan without breaking his word to the sheriff that he won't kill in Scragg County. It's a race against the gallows, a test of wit over gunplay, and a chance for the legendary outlaw to prove he's more than just fast on the draw.

Clay Allison, the Tennessee-born gunslinger whose reputation for violence and recklessness spread across Colorado, Kansas, Texas, and New Mexico by his mid-twenties, was as famous for his wild antics as his deadly aim. From shooting a marshal in a Cimarron saloon to riding naked through Canadian, Texas, to commandeering a courtroom with his horse, Allison's name struck fear across the frontier—and he seemed determined to earn it with every outrageous stunt. This account follows the Terror of the Washita through his most notorious exploits, capturing a man whose unpredictable nature made him a genuine menace to order wherever he roamed.
