About this audiobook
A Colorado dentist claims to be the infamous gunman while mentoring a boy, romancing a widow, and protecting his friend from angry bootleggers.
Pueblo, Colorado, 1932. Bootleggers thrive in a town where the sheriff is on the take and you can kill a man with impunity. In this thrilling narrative, a once-famous outlaw finds himself thrust into the middle of a bootleg war against his will. At stake is nothing less than the life of his best friend and his last chance at true love with the town beauty. But is the legendary gunman who he claims to be, or is he just a retired dentist with a vivid imagination? Peter Meech reimagines the figure of Billy the Kid in a remarkable story told with verve, humor, grit, and grace.
Praise for Billy (the Kid):
'ÄúLike a vintage dime novel, Peter Meech imaginatively engages the reader with a once-upon-a-time version of Billy the Kid'Äôs life and legacy.'Äù 'ÄîLarry McMurtry, Pulitzer Prize'Äìwinning author of¬†Lonesome Dove
'ÄúSome story ideas are so good you just hope the writer doesn'Äôt mess them up, and then there are the ones you read and just wish you'Äôd written them'ÄîBilly (the Kid)¬†is both. Peter Meech'Äôs masterful handling of this Western is nothing short of dead on.'Äù 'ÄîCraig Johnson,¬†New York Times'Äìbestselling author of the¬†Walt Longmire Mysteries
'ÄúVividly imagined, cleverly plotted, and superbly written, Peter Meech'Äôs¬†Billy (the Kid)¬†provides definite and exhilarating proof that a new master of the Western'Äîand the novel'Äîjust rode into town. What a wonderful and wonder-filled book!'Äù 'ÄîChristopher Knowlton, author of¬†Cattle Kingdom: The Hidden History of the Cowboy West
