The saga of Monte Segundo, Rosa Bustamonte and Billy Cabott continues as the trio is unwittingly drawn into a military search and rescue mission along the 1916 U.S.-Mexican border. Soon it is discovered that the woman they are looking for, an Eastern aristocrat, was not injured or lost but has been kidnapped. Believing the woman has been taken by bandits, the search continues deep into Guadalupe Canyon. However, what the combined patrol of civilians and soldiers eventually discover stuns everyone but must remain a closely guarded secret.
A turn of the century Western about the US incursion into Mexico during one of their many civil wars. Gen. Pershing was treated as a footnote in history. This is a well-crafted story written in first- person narrative BUT 2nd-person POV. Billy is the reporter of the actions of Monte Segundo, the story's protagonist. Marvelous Story!!
