About This Book

The task had seemed simple enough to the Ysabel Kid. All he had to do was ride into Mexico, find the man who had killed James Bowie at the Alamo and ask him to return Bowie’s legendary knife to its rightful owners. Nothing simpler ... or so the Kid thought ...But before the job was through he had locked horns with some mighty bad hombres. Men like Manos Grande, the fearsome Yaqui war chief; Silk, a dude but also a lightning fast killer; Juan Escuchador, as mean a bandido as ever slit a throat; or Octavius Xavier Guillemot, the international criminal with a nature as deadly as a rattlesnake, to name but a few who wanted to lay hands on Bowie’s blade.And then there were the women, real tough ladies like Belle Boyd, the rebel spy working for the U.S. Secret Service or Belle Starr, the outlaw—but at least they were on the Kid’s side—or were they?
