Synopsis

Sherlock Holmes-worshiping cowpokes Big Red and Old Red Amlingmeyer are back in another Old West adventure. This time they sign on as guards for the hated Southern Pacific Railroad—and quickly find themselves heading full-steam toward disaster! They’ve barely left the station when the train they’re on is robbed and the baggage man loses his head...literally. Also on board for the wild ride: a drunken Pinkerton, a mysterious beauty, a secretive Chinese doctor and a deadly swamp adder with a taste for cowboys. Will Big Red and Old Red make it to the end of the line alive? Not if the bad guys get their way! Critical Praise for On the Wrong Track “Steve Hockensmith has hit the story’s bull’s eye with a fusillade of crackling humor, hefty suspense and the unexpected.” —True West Magazine “No sophomore slump in Big Red and Old Red’s second case: crackling pace, lots of humor and appealing Wild West flavor.” —Kirkus Reviews

About this title

About the Author:

Steve Hockensmith has written a million-bajillion books. Six of them (so far) have been about mystery-solving cowboy siblings Big Red and Old Red Amlingmeyer. Six others are about mystery-solving 11-year-old siblings Nick and Tesla Holt. Two (soon to be three) others are about mystery-solving tarot reader/reformed con artist Alanis McLachlan. Two more (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dreadfully Ever After) are about reanimated corpses and the women who love them. (No one solved any mysteries in those.) And three more (so far) are filled with short stories (many of which feature people solving mysteries). That adds up to a million-bajillion, right? Steve has been a finalist for the Edgar Award (twice!), the Anthony Award (twice!), the Shamus Award (three times!) and the Derringer Award (once...but he finally won!). According to Ed McMahon, he may already be a winner of the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes, but that was a long time ago so Steve’s guessing it didn’t pan out. To learn more about Steve, go to www.stevehockensmith.com. Or ask his neighbors about him. Just don’t ask them about “Steve Hockensmith.” They won’t know who that is. Say “the bearded guy in the end unit—you know...the sleepy-looking dude who’s always in those gnarly sweatpants.” You’ll get an earful.
