A race across two timelines

Set in 1888 Abilene, this young adult Western pairs a threatened frontier town with a time-travel dilemma. Twelve-year-old deputy Pete Moss learns that outlaw Jake Mulcahy has escaped and is pursuing Sheriff Amos Malone. A history book from Pete’s present-day Chicago suggests the sheriff’s bride, Marian, is destined to die, giving Pete and the sheriff a second urgent task as they track Mulcahy across Missouri and Kansas. The journey’s dangers—from burned towns to ambushes—are bound up with questions of whether history can be changed and what justice can accomplish. The book is presented as the concluding installment in the Abilene Kid saga.

Book overview

ONE ESCAPED CONVICT. ONE RUTHLESS GANG. ONE TWELVE-YEAR-OLD DEPUTY WITH NOTHING TO LOSE...

 

Just when peace settles over 1888 Abilene, Pete Moss receives devastating news: Jake Mulcahy, a bloodthirsty outlaw with a vendetta against Sheriff Amos Malone, has broken out of prison-and he's out for revenge. Worse, Pete discovers through a hidden time portal and a history book from his present-day Chicago that the sheriff may survive-but his new bride, Marian, won't...unless Pete changes history.

 

Now, Pete and the sheriff embark on a desperate, danger-filled race across Missouri and Kansas to track down Mulcahy and his gang. From burned towns to hidden tunnels, derailed trains to deadly ambushes, the trail grows darker and the stakes higher. With every mile, the clock ticks closer to Marian's predicted death-and the gang's plan for mass destruction.

 

As betrayal closes in, Pete must confront heartbreak, betrayal, and the limits of justice itself. With only a handful of soldiers, a fading lead, and the weight of two timelines on his shoulders, can Pete save the woman destined to die-and stop a madman before Abilene falls?

 

Fans of YA Westerns, time-travel thrillers, and heroic coming-of-age stories will love The Abilene Kid: Sweet Revenge, the pulse-pounding conclusion to this epic saga.
