Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The world believes Billy the Kid died at Fort Sumner on July 14, 1881. A young boy named Bill saw him escape.Eight years later, Bill leaves New Mexico with his loyal dog, Jake, determined to build a life of his own. His journey takes him across a changing American West, through scorching deserts, rough frontier towns, and mountain country where a wrong turn can cost a man everything.Along the way, he finds an unlikely friend in Shawn O'Neal, a spirited Irishman whose humor and loyalty turn a lonely journey into a shared adventure. Together, they chase the promise of land and a future near Newport, Washington. But buying cattle is only the beginning. Driving eighty head north means trusting unfamiliar men, crossing dangerous country, and taking responsibility for lives beyond their own.For Bill, the dream of a home soon becomes a test of courage, friendship, and what it means to keep going when the price of that dream grows heavier than he ever imagined.Meanwhile, a man calling himself Henry McCarty searches for something harder to find than freedom: peace. Behind him lies the violent legend of Billy the Kid. Ahead lies the possibility of an ordinary life. But when violence finds him again, Henry must decide whether the gunfighter he has tried to bury is the only man who can keep him alive.And across the miles, a mysterious Native American rider watches from the horizon-a silent presence whose meaning neither Bill nor Henry fully understands.Kid Bill is a Western adventure blending frontier hardship, friendship, loss, and mystery with an alternate-history imagining of Billy the Kid's fate. As Bill struggles to build his future and Henry fights to escape his past, both discover that survival demands more than a fast gun.One carries the secret of a legend's escape. The other must live with the legend. N° de réf. du vendeur 9798234255310
