RALEIGH, N.C. - ncarol.com -- First published by Zonderkidz, this Middle-Grade novel is a prestigious Selah Award winner.

Trapped in a livery stable with the infamous outlaw Jesse James, Nick is mesmerized by a gunfight film projected onto the wall—only to see the outlaw whirl, aim, and vanish in a dramatic flourish. It's a masterful performance until Nick inspects the hayloft and discovers the bullet-riddled body of someone playing the part of Billy the Kid.

"This is an authentic old west ghost town,"  Sheriff Wyatt Earp explains. "Around these parts the dead don't stay dead."

Soon, Nick is on the run, desperately trying to distinguish fact from fiction and real danger from mere illusion. Navigating abandoned gold mines, forbidden buffalo hunting grounds, and the treacherous Rattlesnake Gulch, he encounters clues and suspects at every turn.
