The Billy the Kid Chronicles Mike Friedman

Almost a year ago Billy the Kid left his home in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City, and he left it in a hurry, having just killed the Russian mob boss. Obviously it is to his advantage not to return to the Big Apple. Since then he has made a life for himself and his common law wife, under assumed identities, in Jackson, Wyoming. It's a good life and they have a child and, by God, life is pretty special when mobsters aren't shooting at you and people think you are dead....but then.... Billy receives a phone call from a friend of his in New York. Billy's friend Mindi, a hooker by trade, has been beaten, knifed and raped by four Italians under orders from Val Checkers, the ruling mafia boss in charge of prostitution in the Burroughs. Mindi and Mindi's friend, Paula, are asking for help, and if there's one thing Billy can't ignore it's harm done to his family or friends. The Kid packs a bag, kisses his wife and baby goodbye and flies back to New York. It's time for some frontier justice, Billy-style. "Home is a Dangerous Place" is the fourth installment of the Billy the Kid Chronicles.
