Publisher's Synopsis
In 1866, U.S. Marshal Jack Flynn and his friend, Clay "Pony Kid" Foster, spend two weeks in West Texas and Southern New Mexico in search of Booth Watkins, a notorious outlaw who murdered many innocent people and who has a $500 bounty on his head.
The two lawmen find a terrible scene on a road in the barren Chihuahuan Desert, which they realize was caused by the Watkins Gang. A $500 bounty on Booth Watkins' head spurs the lawmen to capture the outlaw, but they are outnumbered, five against two, and the odds are against them. Flynn and Foster served in the cavalry together, fighting against hostile Comanches and Apaches in Texas and New Mexico. Flynn is the older and wiser of the two, and Foster is young but experienced nonetheless, earning the nickname "Pony Kid" when he was shot at by Sioux warriors when working for the Pony Express riders. With outlaws, gunfights, Apaches, adventure and a little romance, Jack Flynn and the Pony Kid is a historical western adventure story about two lawmen that hunt outlaws and help settlers move and live safely in the untamed land of the Old West. The first book in the Flynn & Foster series.
