According to legend, Billy the Kid killed 21 men, stole from wealthy cattle barons to give to the poor, and wooed just about every seorita in the American Southwest. Acclaimed historical novelist Vernon digs deeply into the historical record to offer a portrait of this outlaw's dramatic and violent life.
