Books like The Bounty Hunters by Elmore Leonard
In Elmore Leonard’s taut Western, the Arizona Department Adjutant assigns two hunters to pursue the old Apache renegade Soldado Viejo, who has taken refuge in Mexico. The seasoned veteran, Dave Flynn, brings war experience and knowledge of the terrain, while his young lieutenant, Flowers, adds an eager but inexperienced edge. As they cross into the town of Soyopa, a different, more personal conflict erupts. The hunters must navigate shifting loyalties and the perilous underbelly of the border area, knowing that choosing the wrong allies or enemies could end their lives.
