“Lawrence, in doing a very modern justice to this nineteenth-century misfit, is being the kind of detective all good authors can be.”

New York Times Book Review

The year is 1862 and twelve-year-old P.K. Pinkerton is on the run from Whittlin Walt and his gang of ruthless desperados. P.K. is determined to hold on to his ma,s last priceless possession: the deed to a large amount of land and silver mines in the Nevada Mountains. But this is the Wild West, and there,’s hardly a safe place to hide in Virginia City, an untamed mining town full of gamblers, hurdy girls and gunmen—all of them on the make! Relying on disguises will only keep P.K. hidden for so long as he works to outwit the outlaws who are quickly closing in . . .

At once thrilling, funny, and moving, this mystery adventure will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page.
