Happy Pub Day to “coydog” by david tromblay
“David Tromblay has a gift for short, sweet, snappy Native pulp fictions stories that aren’t full of crap stereotypes, that are entertaining without being ethnographic time sucks.”
—Theo Van Alst Jr., Ph.D., co-editor of Never Whistle at Night
Moses Kincaid, a Native American bounty hunter, served in the US Army in Desert Storm and Haiti. Now, to pay the bills, he’s taken to tracking down wanted criminals in and around Kansas City.
Unaware he has no authority after chasing a man-on-the-run across state lines, Moses scours the Oklahoma map for a guy who ran down two members of the Filthy 13 motorcycle gang and didn’t look back.
With news of the Oklahoma City Bombing still unfolding on the nightly news, locals don't look upon new faces kindly. Once the Anadarko County Sherrif's Department, friends, and family prove to be a series of dead ends, a waitress offers a helping hand—and a chance at something more. Though love comes and goes quickly in the midst of this manhunt.
After accidentally bringing in a bounty dead, Moses must face the consequences of his actions. His only move is going undercover in the big house to find the source of a drug turning violent criminals into rodeo clowns—if he doesn’t wind up sharing their fate.
