The year is 1862, and twelve-year-old P.K. “Pinky” Pinkerton is on the
run for Whittlin’ Walt and his gang of ruthless desperados. P.K. is
determined to hold on to Ma’s last priceless possession: the deed to a
large amount of land and silver mines in the Nevada Mountains. Problem
is, that’s exactly what Whittlin’ Walt is after, and he’ll do just about
anything to get his hands on it. Pinky will have to be both clever and
cunning to evade the band of outlaws. But time is running out, and no
one can run forever. After all, this is the Wild West, and there’s
hardly a safe place to hide.
Author Caroline Lawrence returns to the Wild West with another
action-packed mystery starring Master-of-Disguise, P.K. Pinkerton.
After vanquishing three notorious Desperados, twelve-year-old P.K.
Pinkerton opens a private-eye business in Virginia City. P.K.'s skills
are quickly put to the test: When a maid named Martha witnesses a
murder, she hires the young detective to track the killer before he
finds her too.
P.K. enlists a trusted ally, Poker Face Jace, to
help crack the case—but collecting clues and keeping Martha safe will
not be easy. Cunning liars, rogue gunslingers and deadly foes lurk at
every turn, and time is running out to bring the murderer to justice.
Sharp, thrilling and vividly imagined, P.K. Pinkerton's second
action-packed adventure will keep your heart racing through the very
last page.
