On the Wrong Track Steve Hockensmith

Crime-solving cowboys Big Red and Old Red ride again! Gustav Old Red Amlingmeyer is an old-fashioned kind of guy: he prefers a long trail ride even when a train ticket can get him where hes going in one-tenth the time. So when its Old Red who insists on guarding the Pacific Express, despite a generations-old Amlingmeyer family distrust of the farm-stealin, cattle-killin, money-grubbin railroads, Big Red is flummoxed. But, as usual, hell follow his ornery brother just about anywhere. Trapped on a thousand tons of steam-driven steel, Old Red and Big Red find themselves riding with a crafty gang of outlaws, a baggage car jam-packed with deadly secrets, and a killer hidden somewhere among the colorful passengers. Filled with all the wit, flavor, humor, and suspense that made Holmes on the Range such a critical hit, On the Wrong Track will have you rushing to the station! Crackling pace, lots of humor and appealing Wild West flavor Kirkus
