Devon Day and the Sweetwater Kid: The Spanish Treasure by J.E.S. Hays now available in e-book format!
Dev and Sweet have attracted the unwelcome attention of a posse after getting away with the mine payroll from the local stagecoach. On the run, they happen upon a skeleton in the desert — a skeleton whose wallet contains a treasure map.
Now whoever heard of a treasure map that actually led to a treasure? But the lads figure spending a few weeks in the middle of nowhere might be just the thing to get that posse off their trail. Besides, there might truly be a treasure where X marks the spot! They pack up some supplies and high-tail it for the desert.
They don’t count on the Spanish noblemen who’ve decided the skeleton was a long-lost ancestor — and the treasure rightfully theirs. Noblemen willing to use not-so-noble means to get whatever Devon Day and the Sweetwater Kid find.
Dev and Sweet find themselves trapped in a cave whose only exit is guarded by the Spaniards. Not even a couple of wily outlaws can take on half a dozen armed men. Can they?
