MacKinnon (Large Print)

Description

Saddle tramp Sam MacKinnon is in trouble. Double-crossed by his partners after robbing a saloon and gambling hall, MacKinnon has been left behind in the mountains of southern New Mexico with busted ribs, a banged-up head, no gun, and no horse. Aging lawman Nelson Bookbinder and his Mescalero Apache scout, Nikita, are leading a small posse hot in pursuit of the bandits. Miraculously, MacKinnon escapes the law, finds his horse and rifle, and, despite his injuries, sets out on the vengeance trail. Miles away in the desert furnace between Ruidoso and Roswell, 19-year-old Katie Callahan has troubles of her own. Her mother has died of tuberculosis, and her worthless stepfather has abandoned the family, leaving Katie with her younger sister and five-year-old stepbrother, a busted wagon, a blind mule, little water and food, and her mothers body that needs to be buried. When the wounded MacKinnon rides into that camp, hes faced with a choice. Fate, however, has a few surprises in mind for the saddle tramp, the young woman, MacKinnons partners, and even that aging New Mexico lawman.
