Book Synopsis
Nowadays, I understand, the tourists come for miles to see Hendry Jones' grave out on the Punta del Diablo and to debate whether his bones are there or not... A stark and violent depiction of one of America's most alluring folk heroes, the mythical doomed gunslinger. Set on the majestic coast of Southern California, Doc Baker narrates his tale of the Kid's capture, trial, escape and eventual murder. Written in spare and subtle prose, this is one of the great literary treatments of America's obsession with the rule of the gun.

Trade Review
Neider's book is better than any other book on the subject of men, horses and death, except Isaac Babel's Red Cavalry. Not a far-fetched comparison when you consider that Neider – though American-raised – was Odessa-born -- Clive Sinclair
Great westerns are both mythic and defiantly down to earth, as is this powerful ballet of menace * Irish Times *
