The Hunter and Horse Tucson, AT, April 1881

I

In 1880 Thomas Hardy disappeared from a train. So begins the saga of the Hunter and friends. The Hunter is a hunter of men not bounty. Along with his good lifelong friend, Jolly Goodman and his half blind Appaloosa horse, Horse, he rides southeast Arizona hunting for some of the worst men to ever come into the territory.

The Hunter is much more than a western, it is a mystery that will keep the reader guessing until the very end. Loaded with characters, some real and some fiction, they all play a part in the hunt for the missing Thomas Hardy and along the way the Hunter and Jolly come to realize that all isn't what it seems while searching for the elusive Mr. Hardy.
Shadowing the Hunter are four of the infamous cowboys from around Tombstone looking for a payoff, and stalking the four cowboys an even more reviled man that goes by la Serpiente or the Snake. Played out in four weeks or so, the locales are as authentic as the clothing and weapons being used. From Tucson to Kearny Mesa, Tombstone, Contention City and Bisbee, they all play a part in the unfolding story.

Let your mind meld with the Hunter and find what so many others have already found...a readily exciting and fun story being told.
